Vehicle front portion structure
A vehicle front portion structure include: side rails that extend in a vehicle longitudinal direction, that have rear end portions connected to a battery; a front side cross member, that is connected to a vehicle front side of both of the side rails and extends in a vehicle transverse direction; and a rear side cross member, extends in the vehicle transverse direction, wherein a front portion of each side rail is positioned further toward a vehicle upper side than a rear portion of the side rail, and an inclined portion, which is inclined toward a vehicle lower side while heading from a vehicle front side toward a vehicle rear side, is provided between the front portion and the rear portion, and wherein a gear box is disposed at a vehicle lower side of the inclined portions, as seen in a vehicle side view.
1. A vehicle front portion structure, comprising:
side rails that extend in a vehicle longitudinal direction, at vehicle transverse direction outer sides of a vehicle front portion, and that have rear end portions connected to a battery;
a front side cross member, that is connected to a vehicle front side of both of the side rails and extends in a vehicle transverse direction; and
a rear side cross member, that is connected to a vehicle rear side of both of the side rails and extends in the vehicle transverse direction,
wherein a front portion of each side rail is positioned further toward a vehicle upper side than a rear portion of the side rail, and an inclined portion, which is inclined toward a vehicle lower side while heading from a vehicle front side toward a vehicle rear side, is provided between the front portion and the rear portion, and
wherein a gear box is disposed at a vehicle lower side of the inclined portions, as seen in a vehicle side view.
2. The vehicle front portion structure of claim 1 , wherein:
the rear side cross member is mounted to front side members that extend in the vehicle longitudinal direction further toward the vehicle upper side than the side rails, and
the gear box is mounted to the rear side cross member.
3. The vehicle front portion structure of claim 1 , wherein:
the front portion of each side rail is positioned further toward a vehicle transverse direction outer side than the rear portion of the side rail, as seen in a plan view, and
the inclined portion at each side rail is inclined toward a vehicle transverse direction inner side while heading from the vehicle front side toward the vehicle rear side.
4. The vehicle front portion structure of claim 1 , wherein a deformation starting point portion, which is a starting point of bending deformation, is formed at each side rail at an upper portion of a region that is further toward the vehicle rear side than the rear side cross member.
5. The vehicle front portion structure of claim 1 , wherein a drive shaft is disposed further toward the vehicle upper side than the inclined portion of each side rail, as seen in a vehicle side view.
6. The vehicle front portion structure of claim 1 , wherein:
a power unit is disposed further toward a vehicle transverse direction inner side than the side rails, and
the gear box is disposed further toward the vehicle front side than the power unit.
