A vehicle body structure that includes a rear floor side member that extends along a vehicle front-rear direction at a vehicle width direction end portion of a vehicle rear section and that is divided into front and rear portions in the vehicle front-rear direction. The rear floor side member includes a joint section that is provided between a vehicle width direction inner side of a rocker rear, which is provided along the vehicle front-rear direction at a vehicle front-rear direction rear side of a rocker extending along the vehicle front-rear direction at a vehicle side section, and a vehicle front-rear direction front end of an attachment portion of a rear suspension member in vehicle side view, and that joins together a rear floor side member front portion and a rear floor side member rear portion.

A formed body 1 includes a first flange 3, a body portion 100 (a first vertical wall portion 4, a top plate portion 5, a second vertical wall portion 6), and a second flange 7, and the formed body 1 is made of steel having tensile strength of 440 MPa or more. The first flange 3 extends toward the second flange 7 from an edge portion of the first vertical wall portion 4. The first flange 3 and the body portion 100 curve so as to conform to each other as viewed from the direction orthogonal to the top plate portion 5.

There is provided a vehicle body structure, including: a die-cast rear floor side member; and a rocker rear inner; a joint section including: an upright wall configuring an inner side, in the vehicle width direction, of the rocker rear inner and extending along the vehicle vertical direction and the vehicle front-rear direction, and an outer joint section that is formed at the vehicle front-rear direction front end portion of the rear floor side member, that has an open cross-section profile, when sectioned along the vehicle vertical direction and the vehicle width direction, that is open toward an outer side in the vehicle width direction, that covers the rocker rear inner from the vehicle width direction inner side and that is joined to the rocker rear inner in a state in which a gap is provided between the outer joint section and the upright wall.

The rear side body structure includes: a side sill outer panel forming a lower part of a side surface of a vehicle body, extending along a front-to-rear longitudinal direction of a vehicle, and including a bonding surface part on a rear end part thereof; a quarter inner panel connected to the side sill outer panel and forming a rear side surface of the vehicle body located at a rear of a rear door; and a first reinforcing member coupled to the side sill outer panel and to the quarter inner panel, and configured to cover a coupling portion between the side sill outer panel and the quarter inner panel, wherein the bonding surface part protrudes rearward and is bonded to a surface of the quarter inner panel.

A vehicle body includes a rear pillar, a roof siderail, and a side inner panel. The rear pillar is disposed to a side of a rear hatch, and extends in an up-down direction. The roof siderail extends in a vehicle body front-rear direction at a side of a roof, and a rear end thereof is linked to the rear pillar. The side inner panel is linked to the rear pillar and the roof siderail. The roof siderail has a tubular shape, and bulges further into a vehicle cabin than an upper end of the side inner panel.
