In a hybrid vehicle, motor traveling using only an output of a rotating electric machine utilizing electric power of a vehicle-mounted power storage device is applicable in a region inside a maximum output line in motor traveling for an EV mode, and in a region inside a maximum output line in motor traveling for an EV mode. Each of the maximum output lines is composed of straight line portions defining an upper limit torque and an upper limit vehicle speed and a curved line portion defining upper limit output power, in motor traveling. Therefore, if a vehicle speed exceeds the upper limit vehicle speed in motor traveling in each of the EV mode and the HV mode, an engine is started. A motor traveling upper limit vehicle speed in the EV mode is set to be lower than a motor traveling upper limit vehicle speed in the HV mode. |
