<p>A system and method for controlling a driving mode of a hybrid vehicle are provided. The method includes setting, by a controller, an engine-on control level based on an SOC (state of charge) of a battery and calculating a compensation factor based on a speed of the vehicle and a road gradient. The controller is configured to reflect the compensation factor in the engine-on control level and calculate a compensated engine-on control level. In addition, the method includes comparing, by the controller, a driver expectation power to the compensated engine-on control level and starting the engine when the driver expectation power is greater than the compensated engine-on control level.</p> |
