PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hybrid vehicle and a control method therefor such that while regeneration efficiency in a high speed travel is improved as compared with the conventional art, a fuel consumption is reduced without stopping a steering assist in an auto-cruising mode and further when a speed is reduced during an inertial travel, a chance for regeneration by a motor generator is increased so as to improve fuel economy.SOLUTION: A hybrid vehicle comprises a speed reduction mechanism 30 which connects a propeller shaft 25 to a rotary shaft 32 of a motor generator 33 and a driving shaft 46 of a second power steering pump 45 respectively, and a switching device which switches a supply source for a power steering fluid 51 from a first power steering pump 40 to the second power steering pump 45, and a controller 80 is configured to perform control to additionally place a regeneration brake, an engine brake, an auxiliary brake, and a foot brake 122 successively in operation and also gradually increase braking force of the foot brake 122 each time a vehicle speed V exceeds an upper-limit speed during speed reduction in an inertial travel.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
