Abstract: A vehicle bodyside structure to be applied to a vehicle includes a side sill, a first reinforce, a second reinforce, and a third reinforce. The side sill is disposed on a rear side of a front tire of the vehicle. The side sill extends along a vehicle fore-and-aft direction. The first reinforce is disposed in a front end side of the side sill. The first reinforce includes a front portion and a rear portion. The front portion extends from an inner side to an outer side in a vehicle width direction. The rear portion extends along the vehicle fore-and-aft direction. The second reinforce at least partly overlaps the rear portion of the first reinforce. The third reinforce is disposed on a rear side of the first reinforce. The second reinforce overlaps a vicinity of a rear end of the rear portion of the first reinforce.

Abstract: A vehicle-body structure that effectively distributes and transfers a side collision load in the vehicle width direction. A cross member includes a cross member top face facing a floor panel, and a cross member front face and a cross member rear face extending from respective ends in a front-rear direction of the cross member top face to the floor panel. A reinforcement member is at a side sill-side end of the cross member top face of the cross member, and a fragile portion extending in the vehicle front-rear direction is provided at a position at a side sill-side end of the cross member and overlapping the reinforcement member. The fragile portion is selected from a cutout, a bead, and a hole. The reinforcement member is a seat mounting bracket, and the fragile portion is on a vehicle-width-direction outer side of a seat mounting surface of the seat mounting bracket.

Abstract: To provide a vehicle-body structure of a vehicle which can achieve both absorption of a front-end collision load acting on a side sill via a front wheel and prevention of receding of the front wheel toward the vehicle-width-direction inner side. The vehicle-body structure of the vehicle 1 includes front wheels 2 and side sills 5 in which a side sill outer 52 and a side sill inner 51 form a closed cross-section; the side sill inner 51 includes an inner body 53 in an open cross-sectional shape open on the vehicle-width-direction outer side, and an inner front end 54 connected to a front end of the inner body 53; the side sill outer 52 includes an outer body 55 in an open cross-sectional shape open on the vehicle-width-direction inner side, and an outer front end 56 connected to a front end of the outer body 55; and the inner body 53, the outer body 55, the inner front end 54, and the outer front end 56 are configured in such a manner that deformation strength against a pressure load from the vehicle front side decreases stepwise in this order.
