PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a vehicle behavior to respond to a switching manipulation while ensuring stability in the behavior of a vehicle when a manipulation of switching traveling modes is performed during turning of the vehicle, and thus prevent a driver from having a strange feeling.SOLUTION: When turning state decision means 51 decides that a vehicle is in a turning state, if a traveling mode selection switch 54 is changed from selection of a first mode to selection of a second mode (that is, a traveling mode in which the gear ratio of an automatic transmission 42 is larger and an output torque of an engine 32 is higher than they are in the first mode), vehicle control means 2 increases the output torque of the engine along with the manipulation, which is performed on the traveling mode selection switch, so that the output torque of the engine gets higher than the output torque attained when the first mode is selected. In addition, the automatic transmission is set to a restriction mode in which the gear ratio of the automatic transmission can be changed along with the manipulation performed on the traveling mode selection switch.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 |
