By adding the C-pillar inner panel, the X-direction welding of the C-pillar reinforcement plate and the wheel house outer panel 4 is changed to the Y-direction welding of the C-pillar reinforcement plate and the C-pillar inner panel, so as to make full use of the space between the wheel house outer panel 4 and the tire envelope, and significantly increase the cross-sectional area of ​​the structure; at the same time, the forming depth H of the wheel house outer panel 4 is reduced, and the formability of the wheel house outer panel 4 is improved; at the same time, the cross-sectional area of ​​the C-pillar structure is significantly increased, and the deformation resistance of the rear door opening frame is improved, so that the NVH performance is improved; and the side collision requirements of the vehicle can be better met.
