A vehicle includes a battery, a number of convenience loads, and a power management apparatus configured to control operations of the plurality of convenience loads based on a state of charge of the battery. The power management apparatus may store a power consumption table including power consumption depending on operation levels of the plurality of convenience loads and a priority depending on the operation levels of the plurality of convenience loads, calculate an amount of power availability based on the state of charge of the battery, calculate an amount of power consumption based on operation information of the plurality of convenience loads, and lower the operation levels of the convenience loads based on the power consumption table when the amount of power consumption is greater than the amount of power availability.
