Abstract
A vehicle control device for controlling a vehicle that transmits a driving force input from an engine to a driving wheel via a continuously variable transmission mechanism, in which in a case where an accelerator is in a non-depressed state during traveling, a first traveling state is established in which fuel supply to an engine is stopped and a clutch between the engine and the driving wheel is disengaged, when the accelerator is depressed during traveling in the first traveling state, the engine is started and the clutch is engaged to increase a hydraulic pressure supplied to the pulleys, and a timing at which the hydraulic pressure supplied to the pulleys becomes higher due to the accelerator being depressed during traveling in the first traveling state is later than a timing at which the hydraulic pressure supplied to the pulleys becomes higher due to the accelerator being further depressed when the vehicle is not in the first traveling state.
