<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To more reliably protect a sensor mounted to an engine against foreign matter, such as water and pebbles, and to adequately maintain performance of the sensor over a long period of time. Ž<P>SOLUTION: In this arrangement structure for the sensor mounted to the engine of a vehicle, a drive shaft 50 for driving front wheels is arranged along a vehicle-rearward lateral surface of the engine 1 arranged in an engine compartment 2 in a posture allowing a crankshaft 8 to be oriented in the widthwise direction of the vehicle, and a flange section 28a as a joining section between engine components 12, 15 is provided to protrude in the rearward direction of the vehicle at a height position below that of the drive shaft 50. The sensor 42 is mounted to the vehicle-rearward lateral surface of the engine 1 at a height position located above the flange section 28a and in overlapping relation with the drive shaft 50 when viewed from a rear side of the vehicle.
