A structure of vehicle power train having an engine situated lengthwise in a vehicle and a transmission disposed in the side of the engine in parallel comprises a front differential unit, which distributes a power outputted from the transmission to right and left front wheels, disposed in front of transmission in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and between the engine output shaft and transmission output shaft in the widthwise direction of the vehicle. The centroid of the power train is positioned to the rear of the front wheels and accordingly, a load on the front wheels is reduced without lengthening a wheel base. By disposing the power train to the front of the transmission, the passenger compartment is widened. The overall height and length of the power train in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle is decreased, and the power train becomes compacted. Since the front differential unit is positioned almost center in the widthwise direction of the vehicle, a front axle shaft is formed symetrically and securing the torque transmission to front right wheel and front left wheel can be accomplished.
