Abstract
A hybrid vehicle includes: an engine; a catalyst; a motor generator; and a drive control unit. The catalyst is provided in an exhaust path of the engine. The motor generator is coupled to the engine and capable of regenerating electric power. The drive control unit is configured to increase torque output from the engine and cause the motor generator to regenerate the electric power by using the torque output from the engine in the case where the hybrid vehicle is in a deceleration state and a temperature of the catalyst is lower than a specified catalyst activation temperature.
