A bumper arrangement relating to a motor vehicle, having an upper main crossmember, which is able to be coupled to the motor vehicle by way of crash boxes, and a lower auxiliary crossmember wherein the main crossmember and the auxiliary crossmember are coupled to one another by way of vertical struts, wherein the bumper arrangement extends over at least 70% of the vehicle width, and in that the main crossmember and the auxiliary crossmember have end portions which protrude laterally in the motor vehicle transverse direction with respect to the crash boxes. A vertically oriented hollow profile is arranged in an outer portion of the end region.

A bumper arrangement for a motor vehicle, having an upper main crossmember, which is able to be coupled to the motor vehicle by way of crash boxes, and a lower auxiliary crossmember, wherein main crossmember and auxiliary crossmember are coupled to one another by way of vertical struts. The main crossmember and the auxiliary crossmember run so as to be curved about the vertical axis at least in certain portions, wherein main crossmember and auxiliary crossmember have different radii of curvature from one another, and/or in that the auxiliary crossmember is set back with respect to the main crossmember in a motor vehicle longitudinal direction in the direction directed toward the motor vehicle, and/or in that the auxiliary crossmember has a central portion which is offset in relation to the vertical direction.

A front bumper includes a bumper body, a bumper inner, and a first electronic device. The bumper body is exposed to the outside of the vehicle. The bumper inner is located inside the bumper body and configured to fix the bumper body to a body of the vehicle. The first electronic device is located between the bumper body and the bumper inner. The bumper inner includes an inner body facing at least a part of the first electronic device in a first direction, and at least one columnar portion located adjacent to first the electronic device in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and extending in the first direction from the inner body toward the bumper body. The length in the first direction of the at least one columnar portion is greater than the length in the first direction of the first electronic device.

An increased amount of absorption of a load from the diagonally upper front side is achieved even in, for example, a vehicle having a high vehicle height. A first shock absorbing member is provided inside a bumper face upper to absorb a load from the diagonally upper front side, a second shock absorbing member is mounted on a front face portion of a bumper beam, and a third shock absorbing member is disposed below the first shock absorbing member and between a bumper face and the bumper beam to absorb a load from the diagonally upper front side. The rigidity of the first and third shock absorbing members in the up-down direction is higher than rigidity of the second shock absorbing member in the front-rear direction.
