Abstract

A method for learning an engine clutch kiss point of a hybrid vehicle includes: determining whether a kiss point learning condition of an engine clutch which connects an engine with a motor or disconnects the engine from the motor is satisfied; controlling a speed of the motor to a first speed; learning a first kiss point of the engine clutch by engaging the engine clutch so that the motor having the first speed is connected to the engine; controlling the speed of the motor to a second speed; learning a second kiss point of the engine clutch by engaging the engine clutch so that the motor having the second speed is connected to the engine; and selecting an average value of the first kiss point and the second kiss point as the engine clutch kiss point when a standard deviation thereof does not exceed a threshold value.
