A vehicle side impact sensing assembly includes a side impact sensor installed on a center tunnel and a bracket, for mounting the sensor, arranged on an upper end portion of the tunnel. The sensor senses a side impact load acting sideways on a body. The bracket has a substantially M-shaped section, is a member put on the upper end portion of the tunnel and includes left and right vertical-plate-like legs and a horizontal-plate-like middle portion. T legs are overlaid on and joined to left and right side surfaces or an upper surface of the tunnel. The middle portion is lower than upper ends of the legs, and overlaid on and joined to the upper surface of the tunnel. Left and right mounting portions for mounting the side impact sensor are formed between the middle portion and the upper ends of the legs.
