Vehicle structure

Abstract

The present invention provides a vehicle structure that can suppress deformation around the sensor support and prevent a decrease in detection accuracy. [Solution] The vehicle structure 1 comprises a front grille 3 that forms the design surface on the outside of the vehicle, and a sensor support member 5 that supports a sensor S for detecting the external environment and is provided on the inside of the front grille 3. The sensor support member 5 includes a recessed portion 51 recessed on one side in the direction of the inside and outside of the vehicle, and a sensor support portion 52 provided in the recessed portion 51 and supporting the sensor S. The sensor support portion 52 may have a plurality of sensor fixing portions 52A1 to 52A3 to which the sensor S is fixed, and a connecting wall portion 52B that protrudes on one side and / or the other side in the direction of the inside and outside of the vehicle and connects the plurality of sensor fixing portions 52A1 to 52A3 to each other.

Claims
