A vehicle body front structure including: a bumper beam; side member; and crash-box including a polygonal-tubular-body, the crash-box between the bumper beam end and side member with the tubular body parallel axis to the vehicle front-rear direction, wherein the crash-box absorbs impact energy as the tubular body is collapsed under compressive load applied from the bumper beam. The polygonal-tubular-body includes outer and inner sidewalls, wherein the outer and inner sidewalls are inclined laterally outwardly in the vehicle as they approach the bumper beam, wherein the outer sidewall inclination angle with respect to the vehicle front-rear direction is greater than the inner sidewall inclination angle. The bumper beam has at the end a first portion whose front side surface is perpendicular to the vehicle front-rear direction, extending from the terminal of the beam inwardly at least to the same lateral location as the laterally outer side of the side member.
