PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a front end structure of a vehicle capable of enhancing the safety in collision by absorbing the impact force at collision sufficiently. SOLUTION: The head structure of the vehicle is configured so that the fixation part of a front end panel 10 with a side member 20 is positioned approximately identical to the part where a sub-frame 21 is installed when viewed in the direction fore and aft of the vehicle. Thereby that part of the side member 20 covering approximately the whole area behind the fixation part of the side member 20 with the sub-frame 21, is allowed to function as a clashable zone. This allows the part functioning as the clashable zone to be longer than conventional, the side member 20 makes deformation in buckling into the form of bellows at the time of collision. Accordingly the total deformation amount becomes greater compared with the case in which the side member 20 makes deformation in such a way as folding, and the impact force at collision can be absorbed sufficiently, and it is possible to enhance the safety in collision by absorbing the impact force at collision sufficiently.
