HYBRID VEHICLE AND CONTROL METHOD FOR HYBRID VEHICLE

摘要

A hybrid vehicle includes an engine, a rotary electric machine, a filter and an ECU. The engine includes an exhaust passage. The rotary electric machine is a driving source of the vehicle. The filter traps particulate matter flowing through the exhaust passage. The ECU is configured to control the hybrid vehicle in any one of a plurality of control modes. The plurality of control modes include a first control mode (CD) and a second control mode (CS). The number of opportunities for the engine to operate when the control mode is the second control mode (CS) is larger than the number of opportunities for the engine to operate when the control mode is the first control mode (CD). The ECU is configured to, when the filter is regenerated (S106), control the hybrid vehicle in the second control mode (CD).
