Each of the pair of right and left middle frame members 55 comprise: a side sill 29 disposed on an outer side in the vehicle width direction; and a center side member 32 disposed inward, in the vehicle width direction, of the side sill 29 and coupling the front and rear frame members. The center side member 32 extends to shift farther outward in the vehicle width direction as it gets closer to rear of the vehicle, and the center side member 32 is set higher in strength than the side sill 29. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
