a front end of the main body part is opposed to a rear end of the side face part of the outer-side reinforcement structure in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and
the main body part is disposed closer to the side face part of the front end part than the rear end of the side face part of the outer-side reinforcement structure in the vehicle width direction, and has a protrusion part that protrudes to a side opposite the side of the side face part of the front end part relative to the rear end.
2. The vehicle-body lower structure of a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the side face part of the outer-side reinforcement structure is provided with an extension part that extends rearward of the front end of the main body part.
3. The vehicle-body lower structure of a vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein the protrusion part is formed by a bead that extends in the front-rear direction in the main body part.
4. The vehicle-body lower structure of a vehicle according to claim 3 , wherein, in the side face part of the outer-side reinforcement structure, a reinforcement structure lateral ridge line that extends continuously forward from the rear end is formed to have substantially a same height as a protrusion part lateral ridge line that extends in the front-rear direction in the protrusion part.
5. The vehicle-body lower structure of a vehicle according to claim 4 , wherein
an outer lateral ridge line that extends rearward from the front end of the main body part is formed in a boundary part between an upper face part and a side face part of the main body part, and
the extension part has such a configuration as to extend rearward along the outer lateral ridge line so as to be capable of engaging with the upper face part and the side face part of the main body part.
6. The vehicle-body lower structure of a vehicle according to claim 5 , wherein
the protrusion part has a pair of lateral wall parts that extend in the vehicle width direction while being spaced from each other in a vertical direction of the vehicle, and
at least one of the pair of lateral wall parts overlaps with the rear end of the outer-side reinforcement structure in a front view of the vehicle.
7. The vehicle-body lower structure of a vehicle according to claim 6 , wherein a rear end concave part that is concave forward from the rear end is formed in the outer-side reinforcement structure at the same height position as at least one of the pair of lateral wall parts of the protrusion part.
8. The vehicle-body lower structure of a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the outer-side reinforcement structure is provided to the front end part from inside the closed cross section.
9. The vehicle-body lower structure of a vehicle according to claim 7 , wherein a boundary in the front-rear direction of the vehicle between the front end part and the main body part of the side sill outer is located at a position within a longitudinal width of a hinge pillar that extends upward from the side sill.
10. The vehicle-body lower structure of a vehicle according to claim 8 , wherein a boundary in the front-rear direction of the vehicle between the front end part and the main body part of the side sill outer is located at a position within a longitudinal width of a hinge pillar that extends upward from the side sill.
11. The vehicle-body lower structure of a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the protrusion part is formed by a bead that extends in the front-rear direction in the main body part.
12. The vehicle-body lower structure of a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein, in the side face part of the outer-side reinforcement structure, a reinforcement structure lateral ridge line that extends continuously forward from the rear end is formed to have substantially a same height as a protrusion part lateral ridge line that extends in the front-rear direction in the protrusion part.
13. The vehicle-body lower structure of a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein
the protrusion part has a pair of lateral wall parts that extend in the vehicle width direction while being spaced from each other in a vertical direction of the vehicle, and
at least one of the pair of lateral wall parts overlaps with the rear end of the outer-side reinforcement structure in a front view of the vehicle.
14. The vehicle-body lower structure of a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein a boundary in the front-rear direction of the vehicle between the front end part and the main body part of the side sill outer is located at a position within a longitudinal width of a hinge pillar that extends upward from the side sill.
