The vehicle may include a trunk to support cargo therein when the vehicle is operating.

A vehicle body side structure includes a left center pillar, and the left center pillar includes a pillar inner, a pillar stiffener, and an inner reinforcing member. The pillar stiffener is joined to the inner front flange and the inner rear flange of the pillar inner, thereby forming a pillar closed section. The inner reinforcing member is arranged in the pillar closed section. The inner reinforcing front flange and the inner reinforcing rear flange of the inner reinforcing member are joined to the inner inside wall of the pillar inner.

An All-Terrain Vehicle with a frame comprising an arcuate shape. In one embodiment, the arcuate shape with an apex is located between a rear axis and a front axis such that there is additional clearance over a typical non arcuate frame or a flat frame for a given ride height. The frame may also provide for additional structural strength. The frame may also include the ability to attach periphery accessories such as an engine cage, a passenger cage, trailing arms, power train and transmission. In other embodiments the arcuate shape may be on a passenger compartment and the arcuate shape may be integrated with a window.
