A floor panel of a vehicle body is provided with bulging sections in which seats are disposed to the left and right of a tunnel section, and a rear tunnel cross member extending in the vehicle width direction at the rear ends of the bulging sections. The vehicle body is provided with left and right floor extensions set further toward the tunnel section along a dashboard lower relative to the front side frames, floor frames extending so as to span between the floor extensions and the rear tunnel cross member and having a predetermined distance in the vehicle body vertical direction from a rear floor panel, and an energy container placed below the bulging sections and supported on the floor frames. The floor frames are fixed to the vehicle body so as to be capable of being removed from the below the vehicle body.

Vehicle body structure

A locking part structure for a vehicle, which includes a door, locking means for locking the door to a vehicle body when the door is closed, and an auxiliary plate that connects the door to the locking means. The locking means comprises a door side locking part that is set in a lock opening formed in the door, and a vehicle body side locking part that is disposed on a vehicle body side and engages with the door side locking part when the door is closed. The auxiliary plate comprises a door fixing part to be fixed to the door, a lock fixing part to be fixed to the door side locking part, and a bending part that is disposed between the door fixing part and the lock fixing part, and formed in a bending form so as to be stretchable.

Locking part structure for vehicle

A hatchback door structure for a vehicle includes an inner panel which is arranged on an inner side of the vehicle; and an outer panel which is arranged on an outer side of the vehicle, wherein the inner panel includes a frame which has a shape outlining an outer shape of a hatchback door, wherein a window frame portion on which a window glass is mounted is formed in an upper portion of the frame, and a locking device fixing portion for fixing a locking device is formed on a bottom of the frame. A V-shaped stiffening frame portion is integrally formed with the frame, and extends from both a bottom left corner and a bottom right corner of the window frame to the locking device fixing portion, wherein the V-shaped stiffening frame portion protrudes toward the outer panel from an inner side contour of the frame with respect to the vehicle.

Hatchback door structure for vehicles

A hatchback door structure for vehicles which includes an inner panel arranged on an inner side of a vehicle; and an outer panel arranged on an outer side of the vehicle, wherein the inner panel includes a frame which has a shape outlining an outer shape of the hatchback door, and a pair of stiffening ribs which is integrally formed with the frame and extends approximately in a V-shape to both side portions of the frame from a bottom side of the frame. Further, the inner panel is integrally formed by press-forming and includes a discrete lateral beam which is fixed and extends between jointing portions of the side portions of the frame and stiffening ribs, wherein, the discrete lateral beam is formed by press-forming, and a window frame on which a window glass is fixed is formed in an upper portion of the frame.

An opening operation prevention structure for a door outer handle includes a base plate, a side wall that projects from the base plate, and a handle lever that is rotatably supported by the side wall. The side wall includes an extension that covers the exterior of the handle lever when the base plate is viewed in a side view.
