Abstract: The support stiffness of a suspension supporting portion can be improved to reduce floor vibration. Arm front-end supporting portions, each supporting a front end portion of a trailing of a rear suspension, are formed on lower portions of rear frames extending in a vehicle longitudinal direction, and each include a squared U-shape portion including outer, inner and front wall portions, with a rear side being open when viewed from the bottom, and an extending outer wall portion extending from the outer wall portion to in front of the front wall portion. The outer wall portion and extending outer wall portion are formed by a side sill inner portion joined to each rear side frame. Also, each arm front-end supporting portion includes an extending inner wall portion extending from the inner wall portion to in front of the front wall portion and joined to each of the rear side frames.

Abstract: A front structure of a motor vehicle includes a pair of left and right front side frames, a pair of left and right apron reinforcements, and reinforcing members extending in a vertical direction to couple the left front side frame to the left apron reinforcement, and the right front side frame to the right apron reinforcement. Each reinforcing member is provided on a surface, facing outside in a width direction of the motor vehicle, of a peripheral wall of a suspension tower, and forms a closed cross section with a portion of the peripheral wall.

Abstract: There are provided an outer panel, an inner panel, a second reinforcement provided in the main closed-cross section and cooperates with the outer panel to form a sub closed-cross section extending longitudinally, a bead portion formed at a portion of the inner panel which is located at a position corresponding to the second reinforcement, and configured to be a starting point causing bending of a front side frame toward the second reinforcement when a collision load is applied in a vehicle collision, and a second attaching member provided at a position located on a front-end side of the front side frame relatively to the second reinforcement and configured to make the second reinforcement crushable in a bending direction in the vehicle collision. The second attaching member comprises a knot-shaped member provided inside the main closed-cross section.

Abstract: A tunnel side frame includes a U-shaped portion having a U-shaped cross section opening upward, the U-shaped portion comprising a bottom face portion, an outer face portion, and an inner face portion. A front tunnel member comprises a first face portion which faces to the bottom face portion of the tunnel side frame, a second face portion which faces to the inner face portion of the tunnel side frame, and a third face portion which extends inward from an upper end of the second face portion. The front tunnel member is attached to a vehicle body by attaching the first face portion to the bottom face portion of the U-shaped portion and attaching the third face portion to a floor tunnel.
