PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a shock absorbing structure of a vehicle capable of enhancing the protecting performance for occupants in the event of head-on collision. SOLUTION: An energy absorbing member 22 in block shape is installed in a void space 20 between a radiator 16 and an engine 18, and is formed from a material having a lower yield strength than the body 26 so as to generate a high load when it is deformed, leaving less residue from crushing. Accordingly an energy absorbing member 22 interferes with the engine 18 early in the first stage of collision to stop the engine 18 moving to ahead of the vehicle, and the loss of the floor-G is reduced. In the middle stage of collision, the engine 18 interferes with the body 26 through the energy absorbing member 22, and the floor-G is heightened. At the final stage of collision, the energy absorbing member 22 makes deformation to absorb the energy to cause a suppression of the bottom abutting G, and the floor-G is reduced.
