Structure of side portion of vehicle body

摘要

A structure of a side portion of a vehicle body having a side outer panel in which a side sill outer member and a pillar outer member are integrally formed. A first enclosed cross-sectional member is formed by a connecting of a side sill inner member and a side sill reinforcing member. Further, the first enclosed cross-sectional member has first connecting members which are formed by a connecting of the side sill reinforcing member and the side sill inner member. A second enclosed cross-sectional member is formed by a connecting of the side sill outer member and the side sill reinforcing member. Moreover, the second enclosed cross-sectional member has second connecting members which are formed by a connecting of the side sill outer member and the side sill reinforcing member. The second connecting members are located outwardly of the first connecting members in the transverse direction of the vehicle body and are apart from the first connecting members. Therefore, a difference between an amount by which the pillar outer member swells outward in the transverse direction of the vehicle body and the drawing depth of the side sill outer member can be made larger.
