A first opening is formed in a bent portion at a lower end portion of a pillar outer panel, and a second opening is formed in the bent portion at a lower end portion of pillar outer reinforcement. The strength of a front outside portion is reduced at the lower end portions of the pillar outer panel and the pillar outer reinforcement. When load toward the rear oblique inside acts on a lower end portion of a front pillar, the front pillar deforms about an origin at the front outside portions of the pillar outer panel and the pillar outer reinforcement. Namely, the front pillar can be deformed such that a front end portion of a front wheel moves further toward the vehicle width direction outside. The front end portion of the front wheel moves further toward the vehicle width direction outside, thereby promoting toe-out of the front wheel.
