<p>To be able to narrow the width of a front pillar portion while suppressing an increase in costs and also ensure the rigidity and the strength of the front pillar portion. In a vehicle body structure (10) of the present invention, an inner panel (28) of a frame member (22) has an inner side flange (58) that is joined to an outer side flange (38) of a side outer panel (24). The inner side flange (58) has a front side flange (58A) that extends outward in a vehicle width direction from a vehicle upper side end portion of an inner side wall portion (52) and a rear side flange (58B) that extends inward in the vehicle width direction from the vehicle upper side end portion of the inner side wall portion (52). A cutout (60) formed so as to open to the vehicle upper side in the inner side wall portion (52) between the front side flange (58A) and the rear side flange (58B) in the vehicle width direction is positioned inside a closed cross-section (98) formed by a front portion (62A) of a roof panel (62) and a header panel (64) as seen in a vehicle side view.</p> |
