Upper body structure of vehicle
An upper body structure includes a pair of left and right roof side rails coupled to respective ends of a roof panel in a vehicle width direction and extending in a vehicle front-rear direction and a roof reinforcement 30 configured to couple intermediate portions in the vehicle width direction of the pair of roof side rails. A vehicle-width-direction inner side end of each roof side rail has a concave-convex shape in a side view along the vehicle front-rear direction, a vehicle-width-direction outer side end of the roof reinforcement has a concave-convex shape in the side view, and the concave-convex shaped end of each roof side rail and the concave-convex shaped end of the roof reinforcement 30 intersect each other in the side view.
1. An upper body structure of a vehicle, the upper body structure comprising:
a pair of left and right roof side rails coupled to respective ends of a roof panel in a vehicle width direction, the pair of let and right roof side rails extending in a vehicle front-rear direction; and
a roof reinforcement that couples intermediate portions in the vehicle front-rear direction of the pair of roof side rails in the vehicle width direction,
wherein a vehicle-width-direction inner side end of each roof side rail has bulges in a side view along the vehicle front-rear direction,
a vehicle-width-direction outer side end of the roof reinforcement has a concave-convex shape in the side view, and
the bulges in the roof side rail and the concave shapes in the roof reinforcement overlap in the up-down direction in the side view.
2. The upper body structure of a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the roof reinforcement is joined to each of the roof side rails outside the bulges.
3. The upper body structure of a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the bulges are joined to the roof panel.
4. The upper body structure of a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the roof reinforcement includes at least one protrusion extending to the roof side rail, the at least one protrusion being between adjacent bulges.
