Disclosed are a vehicle including an electric motor and a method of controlling the same for providing a notification function to an occupant of the vehicle by controlling a pitching motion of a vehicle body. The method includes calculating a first torque value for providing the pitching motion based on driving state information including a vehicle speed, a driving mode, and an environment of a driving road; calculating a second torque value based on a request of a driver; and calculating a final torque value for controlling the electric motor based on the first torque value and the second torque value.

A brake lamp control method of a vehicle is provided. The method includes determining whether a deceleration of the vehicle based on regenerative brake through the electric motor is present in a hysteresis period between an off threshold as a reference for turning off a brake lamp and an on threshold as a reference for turning on the brake lamp. When the deceleration of the vehicle is present in the hysteresis period, the method includes determining a state of the brake lamp before the deceleration of the vehicle enters the hysteresis period. In response to determining that the brake lamp is turned on or off for a reason except for the regenerative brake before the deceleration of the vehicle enters the hysteresis period, a request for turning on the brake lamp is set or reset based on the regenerative brake in response to the determined state of the brake lamp.
