Abstract
A control system for a hybrid vehicle configured to start an engine promptly during propulsion in an electric vehicle mode. Electric power generation resulting from cranking the engine by a first motor is greater in the first electric vehicle mode compared to a second electric vehicle mode. A controller that is configured to determines whether an acceptable input power to an electric storage unit is smaller than a threshold value. If the acceptable input power to the electric storage unit is smaller than the threshold value, selection of the first electric vehicle mode is inhibited.
