1 . A vehicle front structure comprising:
a front side-frame extending in a vehicle front-rear direction;
a lower member extending in the vehicle front-rear direction at a position outer in a vehicle width direction than the front side-frame; and
a bracket coupled to a front end of the front side-frame and a front end of the lower member, wherein
the front end of the front side-frame and the front end of the lower member are coupled with each other,
an outer end in the vehicle width direction of the front side-frame is inclined so as to be positioned outer in the vehicle width direction toward a front of a vehicle body, and
an inner end in the vehicle width direction of the lower member extends in the vehicle front-rear direction, without being inclined inward in the vehicle width direction toward the front of the vehicle body,
the lower member is coupled to both the front side-frame and the bracket,
the lower member includes:
a first flange extending upward from a top of the front end thereof;
a second flange extending outward in the vehicle width direction from the front end thereof; and
a third flange extending outward in the vehicle width direction from a bottom of the front end thereof,
wherein the first flange and the third flange are coupled to the front side-frame and the second flange is coupled to the bracket.
2 . The vehicle front structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the first flange is coupled with the front side-frame so as to abut each other in the vehicle width direction,
