The invention relates to a body structure for a vehicle, with a subframe (5) for a vehicle front axle which supports a drive component and is connected to the body structure (3) at subframe connection points (7), and with a functional unit (11) which is installed in the vehicle (1) behind the subframe (5) by a longitudinal offset (∆x) in the longitudinal direction (x) of the vehicle, wherein, in the event of a head-on crash, the impact forces (F) introduced into the subframe (5) can be introduced into the body structure forming a first load path (L1) via the subframe connection points (7). According to the invention, the body structure has at least one load introduction strut (25) which is supported in a force-transmitting manner between the subframe (5) and the functional unit (11) and bridges the longitudinal offset (∆x). In the event of a head-on crash, the load introduction strut (25) forms a second load path (L2) via which the impact forces (F) can be introduced into the functional unit (11), as a result of which the subframe connection points (7) of the subframe (5) are relieved of load in the event of a head-on crash.
