Abstract
A vehicle body () including: a tunnel cross-member () extending in the vehicle's widthwise direction along the lower surface of a tunnel section () of the floor panel (); left and right side-frame extensions () extending rearward along the lower surfaces () of the dashboard () from the rear ends of left and right front side-frames (). The left and right side-frame extensions each bifurcate into a side sill-side extension () which, while tilting, extends rearward and outward in the vehicle's widthwise direction from the rear end of each of the left and right side-frame extensions to a side sill (), and into a tunnel-side extension () which, while tilting, extends rearward and inward in the vehicle's widthwise direction from the rear end of each of the left and right side-frame extensions to the tunnel cross-member. The tilt of the side sill-side extensions and the tilt of the tunnel-side extensions are substantially the same.
