The vehicle floor structure includes joint members (25) each of which has a closed hollow structure and joins a rear extension (6a) of a side sill (6), one end of a rear seat cross-member (4), and a front end of a rear side-member (5). Each joint member (25) is installed between the end of the cross-member (4) and the side sill (6) and has a lower-rigidity region (Aw) adjacent the end of the cross-member (4) for facilitating lateral collapse of the structure in that region upon occurrence of a side collision of the vehicle. <IMAGE> |
