Abstract
A launch control method for a hybrid vehicle includes: determining an intent of a driver to execute a launch control mode in a state in which an engine is turned-off; when the intent of the driver is to execute the launch control mode, starting the engine and controlling an engine speed; performing a slip control on a slip element of a transmission input terminal; when the engine speed is synchronized with a motor speed or a difference between the engine speed and the motor speed is less than a predetermined range, locking up an engine clutch; when the engine clutch is locked up, performing an engine pre-boosting control to raise an engine torque to a torque at which battery charging is available due to a motor; performing a take-up control on the slip element; and when the take-up control is terminated, locking up the slip element.
