This vehicle control device, which performs stopping control for automatically stopping the engine (12) of the vehicle and restarting control for automatically restarting the engine (12), has: electric motors (41, 35a, 35b) that, by means of electric power, increase the braking force applied to vehicle wheels (FR, FL, RR, RL) by braking devices (32a-32d); a braking control unit (55, S18, S22) that, by controlling the electric motors (41, 35a, 35b), performs vehicle-stoppage-maintaining control that increases braking force together with the stopping of the vehicle while the engine (12) is in a stopped state; and a determination unit (55, S15) that determines whether or not the driver intends to depart on the basis of the detection results of a detector (SW1) of a driving operation system provided to the vehicle. When the determination unit (55, S15) has determined that there is an intention to depart, the braking control unit (55, S18, S22) controls the electric motors (41, 35a, 35b) in a manner so as to increase braking force within an electrical power range that does not hinder the restarting of the engine (12), and meanwhile, when the determination unit (55, S15) has determined that there is no intention to depart, the braking control unit (55, S18, S22) controls the electric motors (41, 35a, 35b) in a manner so as to increase braking force prioritizing maintenance of vehicle stoppage over restarting of the engine (12). |
