The invention belongs to the technical field of steel rolling, and particularly relates to high-flexural-behavior hot-formed steel used for automobiles and a manufacturing method thereof. The steel comprises following trace elements by mass: 0.18-0.3% of C, not more than 0.3% of Si, 1-1.6% of Mn, not more than 0.015% of P, not more than 0.002% of S, 0.1-0.3% of Cr, 0.02-0.06% of Ti, 0.02-0.06% of Al, 0.0005-0.004% of B, not more than 0.004% of [N] and not more than 0.003% of [O]. The manufacturing method includes: heating a casting blank at a low temperature, performing controlled rolling in two stages, rapidly cooling, reeling up at a low temperature, preparing a steel coil by cold rolling and low-temperature critical annealing, shearing to prepare component tablets and performing hot press molding. By the manufacturing method, steel crystal grains are refined and ductility and toughness of the steel are enhanced, so that more energy is absorbed during deformation of the steel and automobile safety performance is enhanced.
