To provide the front structure of a vehicle in which, while disposing a shutter compactly with respect to a vehicle body constituent member (cf., shroud) or auxiliaries (cf., heat exchanger), the shutter can be restrained from becoming disturbance of damping reaction force of a damping means with respect to a colliding object, namely, the shutter is made planar to prevent collision energy absorption of the damping means from being disturbed in frontal collision prediction or in frontal collision.
A front structure of a vehicle includes openings 13, 14 provided to the front part of a vehicle body, a shutter 34 provided behind the openings 13, 14 and a vehicle body constituent member 19 or auxiliaries provided behind the shutter 34. A shutter rocking means is provided which rocks the shutter 34 to a planar side in a front view in frontal collision prediction or in frontal collision.
