To provide a cowl grille structure of a vehicle which enables reduction of an initial load in an entire area of a cowl grille in a vehicle width direction when the load is input from above and prevention mixing of foreign objects from a side end of the cowl grille.SOLUTION: A cowl grille structure of a vehicle is provided with a cowl box 21 arranged among a lower end part of a windshield panel 15, a rear end part of an engine hood, and an upper end part of a dash lower panel 1. A bending part b extending in a horizontal direction and having a bending shape cross section in a side view is formed on a front surface part 24 of a cowl grille 22 forming an upper part of the cowl box 21. The bending part b is formed to both side edges as seen in a vehicle width direction of the cowl grille 22. Side wall parts 322 are provided at the outer side of the bending part b when viewed in the vehicle width direction. The side wall part 322 has vertical rigidity set lower than those of the other portions.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
【課題】上方からの荷重入力時に、カウルグリルの車幅方向の全領域における初期荷重の低減と、カウルグリルの側端からの異物混入防止とを両立できる車両のカウルグリル構造の提供を目的とする。【解決手段】車両のカウルグリル構造は、フロントウインドパネル15の下端部と、ボンネットの後端部と、ダッシュロアパネル1の上端部との間に配設されるカウルボックス21が設けられ、カウルボックス21の上部を形成するカウルグリル22の前面部24に、水平方向に延びる側面視で屈曲形状断面となる屈曲部bが形成され、屈曲部bは、カウルグリル22の車幅方向の両側端まで形成され、屈曲部bの車幅方向の外側に側壁部322が設けられ、側壁部322は、上下方向の剛性が他の部位より低く設定した。【選択図】図4
