Provided are a hybrid electric vehicle and driving mode control method and apparatus for the same. An engine start request is generated by a heating controller of the vehicle. A second time is determined on basis of a first time between the cancellation of a prevent engine start request and the generation of the engine start request. The engine is controlled so that the engine is further maintained in a started state during the second time after the engine start request is cancelled.

Hybrid electric vehicle and driving mode control method and apparatus for same

A method of controlling a hybrid electric vehicle including an engine and a first motor connected to main drive wheels and a second motor connected to auxiliary drive wheels includes determining a required torque, in response to a predetermined condition being satisfied, determining a first torque that the second motor is to continuously output based on the required torque and a vehicle speed and determining a second torque that the second motor is to discontinuously output in order to compensate for acceleration loss in a situation in which the acceleration loss occurs based on a state of an engine clutch disposed between the engine and the first motor, a state of a transmission, or the required torque, and determining a final torque of the second motor based on the first and second torques.
