In power train supporting apparatus and method for an automotive vehicle, at least three mount portions support a power train constituted by an engine and a transmission on a frame of a vehicle body in such a manner that the output axle of the engine is intersected to a center line of a vehicular longitudinal direction as viewed from a top of the vehicle, The three mount portions comprise engine front and rear side mounts (MT1, MT2) on a vehicular front side and a vehicular rear side with respect to the engine and a transmission side mount (MT3) in the vicinity of the transmission and being arranged in such a manner that a distance from a weight center (G) of the power train to each of the engine front and rear side mounts (MT1, MT2) is shorter than a distance from the weight center of the power train to the transmission side mount (MT3).
