A motor-vehicle front structure comprises a pair of longitudinal struts (L) having front-ends to which two strut plates (P1) are secured. A front cross-member (T1) is located forwardly of the strut plates (P1) and has ends provided with two rearwardly facing crash-box plates (P2), which are connected to said front cross-member by means of two crash-box structures (CB). The two crash-box plates (P2) are further connected to a lower auxiliary cross-member (T2) by means of two respective supports (S). A front-end unit for supporting one or more auxiliary motor-vehicle components comprises an upper cross-member (M1) and a lower cross-member (M2) made of plastic material. The crash-box plates (P2) are connected directly to the strut plates (P1), without the interposition of any elements forming part of the front-end unit therebetween. The upper and lower cross-members (M1, M2) of the front-end unit are made of elements which are separated from each other. The upper cross-member (M1) of the front-end unit is connected directly to the crash-box plates (P2), whereas the lower cross-member (M2) of the front-end unit is connected directly to the supports (S), through which it is connected to the crash-box plates (P2).
