Abstract
A vehicle body structure has: a dash cross member on a front wall section of a vehicle interior, and forming a closed cross section extending in a vehicle width direction; a floor tunnel on a vehicle-widthwise center section of the vehicle interior, formed in a groove shape opened to a lower side, and extending in a front-rear direction; a corner patch on a vehicle exterior side of the floor tunnel and extending along a ridge portion of the floor tunnel in the front-rear direction; and a first joint at which front end sides of the dash cross member and the corner patch are joined together. The dash cross member is provided on the vehicle interior side of the floor tunnel so as to range continuously from the floor tunnel to both vehicle-widthwise sides, and the floor tunnel includes a front extension portion extending frontward beyond the first joint.
