A control apparatus and method for a hybrid vehicle having a first engagement element (CL1) between an engine (E) and a motor-generator (MG) and a second engagement element (CL2) between the motor-generator (MG) and a drive wheel (DSL,DSR). During EV drive mode, the first engagement element (CL1) disengages and the second engagement element (CL2) engages to drive the vehicle using the motor-generator (MG). During HEV drive mode, the first (CL1) and second (CL2) engagement elements engage to drive the vehicle using both power sources. During a third drive mode, the first engagement element (CL1) engages and the second engagement element (CL2) slip-engages to drive the vehicle by both power sources. When a detected temperature of the second engagement element (CL2) is too high during low-speed driving, the EV drive mode is selected to enhance durability of the second engagement element (CL2). |
