<p>A body (1) has a front side member (2) and a side sill (3) connected thereto. The side sill (3) is disposed outwardly of and below the front side member (2) in the width and height directions of the body. At a junction (3A) between the front side member (2) and the side sill (3), a reinforcement member for reinforcing the junction is provided. The reinforcement member (15) has a longitudinal wall and front and rear walls extending in the body width direction and functioning as bulkheads, and permits the junction (3A) to resist a bending moment caused by an impact force applied to the front of the body and acting on the junction in the backward, upward and inward directions of the body (Fa). Especially at the time of offset crash (A), the body restrains a deformation of the side sill and decreases a recession of a front pillar (1A), to thereby reduce a deformation of a passenger cabin.</p> |
