Further, since the energy absorbing portion has a honeycomb structure, the initial reaction force at the time of buckling deformation becomes large, and it is difficult to obtain an ideal low reaction force deformation mode.

Further, when the above-mentioned honeycomb structure is formed of a resin material, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the partition walls of the honeycomb to a certain extent in order to reduce the initial reaction force at the time of buckling deformation. It is necessary to increase the protruding height from the rear surface of the trim body, which not only reduces the cabin space, but also causes a problem that the weight of the trim increases and goes against weight reduction of the vehicle body.
