Abstract
A vehicle body side structure, which enables the rigidity of a bottom section to be ensured through the reinforcement of a bottom section of a pillar. The vehicle body side structure has a closed cross section, which continues over a side sill and the front pillar, separated into a plurality of sections by a bulkhead. The bulkhead includes a rear end flange that joins to a sill top wall, a front end flange that joins to a pillar outer front wall, and a partition wall. The partition wall is formed into a cross-sectional U shape together with a sill outer side wall and a sill outer bottom wall, forming a third U-shaped cross section that leads to the pillar outer front wall. The third U-shaped cross section forms, together with an inner side sill, a closed cross section extension section that leads to the pillar outer front wall.
