Abstract
To provide a vehicle-body structure of a vehicle which can achieve both absorption of a front-end collision load acting on a side sill via a front wheel and prevention of receding of the front wheel toward the vehicle-width-direction inner side. The vehicle-body structure of the vehicleincludes front wheelsand side sillsin which a side sill outerand a side sill innerform a closed cross-section; the side sill innerincludes an inner bodyin an open cross-sectional shape open on the vehicle-width-direction outer side, and an inner front endconnected to a front end of the inner body; the side sill outerincludes an outer bodyin an open cross-sectional shape open on the vehicle-width-direction inner side, and an outer front endconnected to a front end of the outer body; and the inner body, the outer body, the inner front end, and the outer front endare configured in such a manner that deformation strength against a pressure load from the vehicle front side decreases stepwise in this order.
