Abstract
When a hybrid vehicle travels in CS mode in EV single-drive mode, when a required torque is larger than a torque threshold or when a required power is larger than a power threshold, and when a predetermined high response request is not being issued, a drive mode is caused to shift into HV drive mode. When the predetermined high response request is being issued, the drive mode is caused to shift into EV double-drive mode.
