VEHICLE BODY STRUCTURE IN PERIPHERY OF REAR SUSPENSION

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide vehicle body structure in a periphery of a rear suspension capable of securing sufficient rigidity and strength while efficiently dispersing an input load from the rear suspension. SOLUTION: The vehicle structure is equipped with coupling members (8, 10, 12, 14, 16) which include a first coupling portion (X) that couples rear quarter inner members (1) to upper surfaces of rear suspension base members (4), a second coupling portion (Y) that couples upper surfaces of the rear suspension base members (4, 4) together, which are located on the right and the left in pairs, and a third coupling portion (Z) that joins the second coupling portion to couple the rear quarter inner members (1, 1) together, which are located on the right and the left in a pair, the coupling members being integrally formed, and forming the closed section structure all over the areas, and there is formed a bulkhead structure (8d, 10c) in a portion surrounded by the first, second and third coupling portions.
