  • Publication number: 20180170441
    Abstract: A front side wall portion and a rear side wall portion extend inwardly in a vehicle width direction from respective edges of an outer wall portion of a pillar outer member in a vehicle front-rear direction. Flange portions extend outwardly in the vehicle front-rear direction from respective edges of the front side wall portion and the rear side wall portion in the vehicle width direction. The outer wall portion is constituted by a flat portion placed in a central part in the vehicle front-rear direction, a front ridge portion placed on a front side relative a the flat portion in the vehicle front-rear direction, and a rear ridge portion placed on a rear side relative to the flat portion in the vehicle front-rear direction. The front side wall portion and the rear side wall portion bend in the middle in the vehicle width direction.
