A latching device () for vehicles capable of engaging with and disengaging from a rod-like portion (P) to lock and unlock the latching device () includes: a casing () at least partly formed by a first member made of a first material and having an insertion groove (A) for allowing the rod-like portion to be inserted thereinto; and a second member (latch () or reinforcement plate ()) made of a second material and configured to contact the rod-like portion (P). The second material has a higher specific gravity and a higher modulus of elasticity than the first material. For example, the first material is resin, whereas the second material is metal.
