Abstract: A vehicular airbag device that comprises: an inflator; and an airbag cushion that inflates and deploys between a steering wheel and an occupant. The airbag cushion includes: an occupant-side panel that deploys to the occupant side and restrains the occupant; a vehicle-side panel that is disposed on the opposite side to the occupant-side panel; and side panels that connect the occupant-side panel and the vehicle-side panel and constitute the side surfaces of the airbag cushion. The side panels comprise a plurality of subpanels. A base material weft that constitutes a central section E1 of the sub-panels extends in a virtual plane S2 that follows the occupant side of the rim of a steering wheel when the airbag cushion is inflated and deployed.
