Abstract

When an accelerator opening Acc is equal to or more than a threshold value A2 upon a shift from a N position to a D position, a target torque T* is set to gradually change in comparison with when the accelerator opening Acc is less than the threshold value A2 based on a torque demand Trq corresponding to the accelerator opening Acc and a time constant τ or a gradual change restriction until a satisfaction of a release condition. An Engine 22, motors MG1 and MG2 are controlled so as to ensure a driving torque equivalent to the target torque T*.
