Abstract

A vehicle front portion structure includes a motor, a stabilizer having an extending portion disposed at a vehicle front side of the motor and that extends further in a vehicle width direction than a length of the motor, and having an arm portion that extends toward a vehicle rear side from each end of the extending portion, a plurality of motor fixing portions, a part of the motor fixing portions being disposed at respective outer sides in the vehicle width direction relative to the motor and at a position between the motor and the extending portion, and a plurality of stabilizer support portions that support respective end parts of the extending portion, the stabilizer support portions being disposed further toward a front side than the motor fixing portions, and at least a part of the stabilizer support portions being aligned with the motor fixing portions in the vehicle front-rear direction.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A vehicle front portion structure, comprising:
a motor;
a stabilizer having an extending portion that is disposed at a vehicle front side of the motor and that extends further in a vehicle width direction than a length of the motor in the vehicle width direction, and having an arm portion that extends toward a vehicle rear side from each end, in the vehicle width direction, of the extending portion;
a plurality of motor fixing portions that fix the motor to a vehicle body, at least a part of the motor fixing portions being disposed at respective outer sides in the vehicle width direction relative to the motor and at a position at a front side in a vehicle front-rear direction relative to the motor between the motor and the extending portion, as viewed in a vehicle vertical direction; and
a plurality of stabilizer support portions that are fixed to the vehicle body and that support respective end parts, in the vehicle width direction, of the extending portion, the stabilizer support portions being disposed further toward a front side in a vehicle front-rear direction than the motor fixing portions, and at least a part of the stabilizer support portions being aligned with the motor fixing portions in the vehicle front-rear direction,
wherein a motor fixing portion of the plurality of motor fixing portions is fastened at a bottom part and a right side part of a front-right side of the motor, and a portion of the motor fixing portion of the plurality of motor fixing portions extends diagonally forward and outward from the front-right side of the motor.

2. The vehicle front portion structure of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of fixing members, a motor fixing portion of the plurality of motor fixing portions and a stabilizer support portion of the plurality of stabilizer support portions being integrally formed in each of the fixing members.

3. The vehicle front portion structure of claim 1 , wherein each of the motor fixing portions comprises a first attachment portion that is configured to be attached to a suspension of a vehicle and a second attachment portion that is attached to the motor, and the second attachment portion extends from the first attachment portion rearward and toward an inner side in the vehicle width direction, toward the motor.

4. The vehicle front portion structure of claim 2 , wherein:
the motor fixing portion extends from the stabilizer support portion, rearward and inward in the vehicle width direction, toward the motor, and the motor fixing portion is attached to the motor, and
the stabilizer support portion is configured to be attached to a suspension of a vehicle.
