Original Abstract Submitted

The vehicle includes a vehicle body, a wheel that support the vehicle body, an in-wheel type motor unit that drives the wheel, and a trailing arm that is connected to the motor unit via an elastic member and extends toward the front of the vehicle. An angle formed by a first straight line connecting the wheel rotation center corresponding to the rotation axis of the wheel, the first connection point which is a connection point between the motor unit and the trailing arm, and a second straight line connecting the first connection point, the second connection point which is a connection point between the trailing arm and the vehicle body, is set to 150 degrees or more and 210 degrees or less.
