A front body structure of a vehicle for enhanced crash protection includes: a front bumper beam extending transversely across a body of the vehicle; a pair of longitudinal sidemembers extending longitudinally along the vehicle body; a front bumper tip enclosure attached to the front bumper beam and substantially enclosing an end portion of the front bumper beam; and a sidemember angle tie extending at an angle with respect to the longitudinal sidemembers, a front end of the sidemember angle tie attached to the front bumper tip enclosure, and a rear end of the sidemember angle tie attached to one of the longitudinal sidemembers. The sidemember angle tie changes a direction of an impact load on the vehicle body to a longitudinal direction by transferring the impact load along an angular path to the one of the longitudinal sidemembers to which the sidemember angle tie is attached.

A vehicle bumper reinforcement structure to increase energy absorption capacity is provided. The vehicle bumper reinforcement structure comprises a base member extending in the width direction of the vehicle that is attached to the vehicle at both width ends, and a first reinforcement member and a second reinforcement member attached to the base member at a width center of the vehicle. Widths of the reinforcement members are differentiated in such a manner to cause fracture of the base member at width ends of the reinforcement members by a predetermined collision impact applied to the width center of the base member.

A vehicle bumper structure including: bumper reinforcement at a rear of a bumper cover; an absorber in front of the bumper reinforcement; and a pedestrian collision detection sensor including a pressure tube between the bumper reinforcement and the absorber, wherein a position of a width direction outer end of the bumper reinforcement is set between a first normal line and a second normal line, where a front-rear reference line passes through a width direction outer end of a front hood or apron upper member and extends along a front-rear direction, the first normal line passes through an intersection point between the front-rear reference line and the bumper cover and extends along the direction of a normal line with respect to the width direction outer end of the bumper reinforcement, and the second normal line is offset by 100 mm to a width direction inner side of the first normal line.
