Vehicle front structure for improved compatibility during a frontal crash

The present disclosure relates to a Vehicle front structure as defined above is provided, in which the front structure comprises: a side member for supporting a vehicle bumper beam, the side member extending along a longitudinal axis between a first end for connecting to the vehicle bumper beam and a second end for connecting to a bulkhead, and a lateral extension member extending substantially perpendicular with respect to the longitudinal axis of the side member and outward with respect to the vehicle front structure, the lateral extension member is connected to the side member such that the lateral extension member can exert a bending moment to the side member, and a bending strength of the lateral extension member in backward direction towards the side member is higher compared to a bending strength in the forward direction away from the side member.
