An apparatus for calculating a route in consideration of a vehicular driving situation includes a situation recognizer determining whether a route is required to be calculated; a distance calculator calculating an estimated movement distance in consideration of a vehicle speed and a first estimated time required for searching for a route leading to a destination when the route is required to be calculated; and a route calculator calculating a future position of a vehicle to which the vehicle will have moved by the estimated movement distance along a lane in which the vehicle is driving or along an optimal route from a vehicle position at a first point in time when the situation recognizer determined the route was required to be calculated, and calculating an additional optimal route leading to the destination, based on the future position of the vehicle as a starting point.
