Vehicle front structure

摘要

A vehicle front structure includes left and right side frames and a sub-frame disposed below the left and right side frames. The sub-frame includes a cross member, which connects rear end portions of left and right side members, and a support unit, which supports a steering gear box at front end portions of the left and right side members. The steering gear box is supported by the support unit so as to be located in a vehicle-front-side region of the power plant. The support unit is capable of being broken by an impact load so that the steering gear box is dropped when the impact load is applied.
