Abstract
A method and an apparatus for controlling engine start for a hybrid electric vehicle are provided. The apparatus includes a data detector that is configured to detect data for controlling start of an engine. Additionally, a controller is configured to calculate a demand power of a driver based on the data and start the engine when the demand power of the driver is greater than an engine-on power line which is a reference for starting the engine.
