a shield is provided between the rear bumper and the silencer;
the shield is provided so as to extend in the vehicle width direction to overlap with at least a rear vertical wall of the silencer in an up-down direction in vehicle rear view; and
the shield is provided with a guider that guides underfloor traveling air downward, the underfloor traveling air flowing to a rear side through a lower portion of the silencer,
wherein the guider is provided with a blow-out hole which guides traveling air downward and from which the traveling air is blown out, the traveling air flowing to the rear side through an upper portion of the silencer,
wherein the shield includes:
a shielding surface that overlaps with at least the rear vertical wall of the silencer in the up-down direction in vehicle rear view; and

the guide surface and the shielding surface are provided to be offset from each other in a vehicle front-rear direction,
wherein the shielding surface is formed in an inclined form in which the shielding surface is positioned closer to a vehicle front side as the shielding surface approaches a lower side, and
the guide surface is formed in an inclined form in which the guide surface is positioned closer to a vehicle rear side as the guide surface approaches the lower side,
