Abstract
The disclosure provides a vehicle body capable of well preventing the deformation of a side door even if the weight of the vehicle itself increases. The vehicle body includes a front pillar upper which extends rearward and upward along a side edge of a windshield, a front pillar lower which is joined to a lower end of the front pillar upper to support a front end of the side door, a dash upper side which connects an upper member to the front pillar lower while being joined to the front pillar upper at a rear extension part, and a front pillar upper stiffener which reinforces the bending rigidity of the front pillar upper. A distance is set between the rear extension part of the dash upper side and a front end of the front pillar upper stiffener above the front pillar lower.
