The speaker box includes an abutting part abutting the hinge pillar; an upper space portion that bulges inward in a vehicle width direction from the abutting part above the gap portion and that holds a speaker; and an extended space portion that extends downward from the upper space portion and is adjacent to a vehicle-width-direction inner side of the gap portion.
