A side body structure of a vehicle can include: a hinge pillar; a front pillar that is coupled to an upper end portion of this hinge pillar via a bent section, extends upward to the rear, and is coupled to a front end portion of a roof side rail via a connected section; and an apron rein that extends forward from a position below the bent section in the hinge pillar, where the bent section can include an energy absorption section that is subjected to out-of-plane deformation in a longitudinal orthogonal direction of the front pillar and thereby can absorb collision energy when the collision energy, which can be directed rearward, is applied to the apron rein. The energy absorption section can be configured to include an outer bead section and an inner bead section respectively provided in an outer member and a lower inner member.
