A vehicle includes a main drive unit, a sub drive unit, and a control unit. The control unit includes a driving force distribution ratio setting unit and is configured to control the main drive unit and the sub drive unit. A drive mode of the main drive unit includes an electric power drive mode and an engine drive mode. The driving force distribution ratio setting unit is configured to set the driving force distribution ratio based on a vehicle speed, a required driving force, and the drive mode. When the drive mode is the engine drive mode, the driving force distribution ratio setting unit is configured to set the driving force distribution ratio so that a distribution ratio of the main driving force is 90% or more.
