<p>An automobile strengthening member which is light in weight and superior in axial crushing performance and has high bending strength performance is provided. Also provided is a strengthening member which will not crack even when a high strength steel sheet is used. An automobile strengthening member (1) having a notches (3) at four corners in a basic rectangular section (2), in a long form having a crisscross closed section as a whole, is characterized in that the sheet thickness at the notches (3) is 5-30% greater than that of other portions than the notches, i.e., a side wall (4) and a top wall (5). Further, an automobile strengthening member (1) characterized in that the hardness at the notches (3) is 5% greater than that of other portions than the notches, i.e., the side wall (4) and the top wall (5).
