A control apparatus of a vehicular power outputting apparatus, which temporarily increases the rotation speed of an input rotating element provided in an automatic transmission using an engine during a downshift in the automatic transmission, is provided with cylinder reduction controlling means for performing a cylinder reduction control that stops at least some of a plurality of cylinders provided in the engine from generating power during a downshift of the automatic transmission. As a result, pumping loss of the engine is reduced which enables the speed of the engine to be increased faster, thus improving shift response.
