Original Abstract Submitted
a vehicle rear structure has a rear assembly, a floor cross member disposed at a rear end of a floor panel and extending from an inside edge of the rear assembly to a floor tunnel opening edge, and a reinforcement member extending from the floor cross member diagonally outward and rearward and connected to an inner side surface of the rear assembly. the rear assembly is an integrally-cast hollow member, including: a main body part having a closed cross-section and connected to the rear pillar and a rear member; a tower part connected to an upper end of the main body part and partially accommodating a suspension; and a suspension member part having a closed cross-section and disposed below the main body part and having front end connected to the rocker and the rear pillar.
