VEHICLE BODY FRONT STRUCTURE
DRIVE
December 2, 2015
A vehicle front section structure is obtained that is capable of suppressing deformation of a vehicle body in a small overlap collision using a coupling member that couples together a front side member and a fender apron section, while preventing or suppressing any detriment to collision performance of the front side member. A vehicle front section structure (10) includes: a front side member (12) that is formed with a front flange (30) at a vehicle front-rear direction front end; a crash box (14) that is joined to the front flange (30) at a rear flange (40) formed at a vehicle front-rear direction rear end; and a coupling member (46) that is joined to a fender apron section (44) at a vehicle rear end, and that includes a joining plate (52) formed at a vehicle front end side joined to the front flange (30) in an interposed state between the front flange (30) and the rear flange (40), with a front end side of a portion of the coupling member (46) positioned at a vehicle width direction outer side of the front side member (12) angled such that in plan view a rear side is separated further to the vehicle width direction outer side from the front side member (12) than the vehicle front side.
