An instrument panel for a vehicle, having an instrument panel base including an upper face member and a front face member which form an open cross-section structure. The upper face member extends substantially horizontally along a width of the vehicle, the front face member extends substantially vertically downward from an end of the upper face member closer to the center of an interior of the vehicle, and the instrument panel base is made of light metal, coupled with front pillars, and has a lid member for closing an opening of the base, through which an airbag is deployed, and a surface member for covering at least the lid member. Positions of easily-broken portions provided at the lid member and at the surface member are matched with each other. An impact absorbing layer made of hard resin is provided on a side of the front face member toward the interior.
