Deformation of a vehicle compartment is suppressed at the time of a small overlap collision. A front pillar lower structure (10) includes a gusset (50) joined to a lower end portion of a pillar reinforcement (41). In the gusset (50), a front wall (50B) and a lower wall (50C) extend from a side wall (50A) located on the outer side in a vehicle width direction of a rocker reinforcement. The front wall (50B) covers the rocker reinforcement (29) from the vehicle front side, while the lower wall (50C) extends toward the vehicle rear side from a lower end of the front wall (50B) and is joined to a lower surface of the rocker reinforcement (29). Since the strength of a joint portion (51) between the pillar reinforcement (41) and the rocker reinforcement (29) can be improved by the gusset (50), it is possible to prevent or suppress breakage of the joint portion (51) at the time of a small overlap collision so that deformation of a vehicle compartment (21) due to such breakage can be suppressed.
