A vehicle with a tail gate wherein the movement distance around the vehicle is reduced. In a vehicle with a tail gate, a tail gate is supported on a vehicle body such that a rear opening formed on the rear part of the vehicle body opens and closes. The tail gate has a sub opening formed on the tail gate, and a sub door for opening and closing the sub opening in the vehicle width direction. The width of the sub opening in the vehicle width direction is shorter than the width of the rear opening. One side border of the sub opening in the vehicle width direction is located in the vicinity of one edge of the tail gate in the vehicle width direction. The sub door is supported on the tail gate so as to begin to open from the side border of the opening.
