In an air conditioning apparatus for a vehicle, a heat exchanger for adjusting a temperature of air blown into a passenger compartment is formed in a lateral-longer shape to have a longest dimension in a right-left direction of the vehicle, and the heat exchanger is accommodated in an air conditioning case. The air conditioning case is also formed in the lateral-longer shape and has a longest dimension in the right-left direction. An air passage is formed in the air conditioning case so that air passes through the heat exchanger from a front side to a rear side in a from-rear direction of the vehicle. The air conditioning case is disposed in an instrument panel at a center in the right-left direction to extend from the center to upper sides of foot spaces provided at right and left sides of a center console without being inserted into the center console. Thus, an installation performance of the air conditioning apparatus in the instrument panel of the vehicle can be improved.
