A hybrid vehicle is provided with means (60) for setting a four-wheel drive condition which is a condition for switching from two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive, and an EV switch (64) which, when turned on by an occupant of the vehicle, places the vehicle in an EV driving mode in which only an electric motor is used as the power source. The four-wheel drive condition setting means (60) changes (step S 114) the four-wheel drive condition to reduce a region in which the vehicle operates in four-wheel drive when the EV switch (64) is on (step S 102) as compared to when the EV switch (64) is off. As a result, the vehicle operates in two-wheel drive more frequently, thus reducing power consumption. |
