VEHICLE BODY STRUCTURE FOR VEHICLE

To provide a vehicle body structure which is for a vehicle that has a large side door opening and which suppresses the bending and deformation of a hinge pillar at the attachment portion of an apron reinforcement when a collision such that the apron reinforcement is moved backwardly occurs.SOLUTION: A reinforcement member 60 is provided in the closed cross-section of a hinge pillar 30 at a location that overlaps an attachment portion 23b of an apron reinforcement 20 in the vertical direction. The reinforcement member 60 includes: a main body 61 that extends in the vertical direction of a vehicle so as to be apart from the hinge pillar 30; a front flange portion 62 located at the front part of the main body 61; a side flange portion 63 located at the rear part of the main body 61; a front ridge line portion X1 located between the main body 61 and the front flange portion 62; and a rear ridge line portion X2 located between the main body 61 and the side flange portion 63. The front ridge line portion X1 and the rear ridge line portion X2 are respectively provided continuously across the vertical direction of the vehicle on the reinforcement member 60.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】サイドドア開口が大きい車両において、エプロンレインフォースメントが後退するような衝突時に、当該エプロンレインフォースメントの取付け部におけるヒンジピラーの屈曲変形を抑制する車両の車体構造を提供する。【解決手段】ヒンジピラー３０の閉断面内部にエプロンレインフォースメント２０の取付け部２３ｂと上下方向において重複する位置に設けられた補強部材６０を備え、補強部材６０は、ヒンジピラー３０から離間して車両上下方向に延びる本体部６１と、本体部６１の前部に位置する前方フランジ部６２と、本体部６１の後部に位置する側方フランジ部６３と、本体部６１と前方フランジ部６２との間に位置する前方稜線部Ｘ１と、本体部６１と側方フランジ部６３との間に位置する後方稜線部Ｘ２と、を備え、前方稜線部Ｘ１および後方稜線部Ｘ２はそれぞれ補強部材６０の車両上下方向にわたって連続して設けられたことを特徴とする。【選択図】図３
