An entrance is provided in a side surface of a body of a vehicle. A side portion of the entrance in the width direction is constituted by a first frame member extending in the vehicle up-down direction. A lower end portion of the entrance is constituted by a floor extension portion of a floor member disposed on the inner side of the entrance with respect to the first frame member. The entrance is provided with a joint member. The joint member extends from the floor extension portion of the floor member to the first frame member, and closes a gap provided between the floor member and the first frame member. Thus, it is possible to suppress wind, rain, noise, etc. from entering a vehicle cabin through the gap.

Vehicle entrance structure

A vehicle pillar structure includes a plurality of pillar frame structure portions, a transparent member, and a connection member. The pillar frame structure portions are disposed on an edge side of an upper half of a door opening as a portion of a columnar pillar. The pillar frame structure portions are provided in parallel with an interval, and have upper and lower end portions fixed to a frame member of the vehicle side portion. The transparent member is formed of a transparent material and is bridged between the pillar frame structure portions. The connection member is formed separately from the pillar frame structure portions, the frame member, and the transparent member, and connects the pillar frame structure portions.

Vehicle pillar structure and vehicle side portion structure

A vehicle pillar structure includes: a pair of frame components that faces each other across a gap in a width direction of a vehicle pillar, each of the pair of frame components having a closed cross-section and extending in a longitudinal direction of the pillar, and a butt weld portion is provided at a gap side and at a vehicle exterior side at at least one frame component; a transparent component that is formed so as to be transparent and that is mounted at a vehicle exterior side of the pair of frame components; an interior garnish component that covers the pair of frame components from a vehicle cabin side; and a cover component that is disposed at the gap so as to be separated at a vehicle exterior side from the interior garnish component, and that covers the butt weld portion.

Vehicle pillar structure

A vehicle front pillar structure includes: a pillar lower portion that configures a lower portion of a front pillar; a first pillar frame that extends along an outer edge of a windshield of a vehicle in a vehicle width direction; a second pillar frame that extends in an extending direction of the first pillar frame; a transparent member straddling between the first pillar frame and the second pillar frame; and a load transmission member that can transmit a load applied from a vehicle front side to a front side portion of the upper portion of the pillar lower portion in a vehicle longitudinal direction, to the second pillar frame, wherein a top surface of the second pillar frame is disposed continuously from a top surface of the load transmission member, and the top surface of the second pillar frame linearly extends in a vehicle rearward and upward direction.
