Abstract: A vehicle body structure includes a left tunnel frame extending along a floor tunnel to a dash lower panel, a left dash frame extending upward from a front end of the left tunnel frame to a dash upper panel, and a dash cross member extending in a vehicle-body width direction and across the left dash frame. The left dash frame is provided on a vehicle-cabin-side surface of the dash lower panel. The dash cross member is provided on an engine-room-side surface of the dash lower panel. The dash cross member bridges a left front pillar and a right front pillar.

Abstract: A vehicle body includes: an opening that is formed in the rear surface; a rear panel assembly having a closed cross-sectional shape and being located at the lower edge of the opening and extending in the width direction of the vehicle; left and right rear wheel wells located in front of the rear panel assembly; and left and right gussets for panels, the gussets connecting the left and right rear wheel wells and the rear panel assembly. Each of the rear wheel wells forms a portion of each of the inner walls of the vehicle body side sections, and the rear wheel wells have support sections for supporting rear dampers for the left and right rear suspensions.
