Upon a rear-end collision of a vehicle, an arm section(s) (26A) of a cross member (26) of a rear suspension member (21) on the rear side of the vehicle, which is(are) positioned in a low-strength region (S1) in a vehicle-body strength distribution, undergoes crush deformation together with a corresponding rear side member(s) (11). Deformation of the part of the rear suspension member (21) other than the arm sections (26A), which is positioned in a high-strength region (S2) in the vehicle-body strength distribution, is suppressed, so that a high voltage component (30) mounted in the high-strength region is protected.
