Original Abstract Submitted

A vehicle-body rear structure for a vehicle includes a stiffening bracket and a seat hinge. The stiffening bracket is provided on a vehicle-widthwise inner side of a rear fender arch of the vehicle on a vehicle front side of a rear wheel house of the vehicle. The rear fender arch is joined to a side sill and a rear pillar of the vehicle. The seat hinge is provided so as to extend in a vehicle width direction of the vehicle on a vehicle lower side of a vehicle seat of the vehicle. The stiffening bracket includes a recessed part recessed outward in the vehicle width direction. The seat hinge includes a vehicle-widthwise outer end that is disposed on a vehicle-widthwise inner side of the recessed part, and to a vehicle-widthwise inner surface of the recessed part with a space between the vehicle-widthwise outer end the vehicle-widthwise inner surface.
