A control unit is able to selectively control a motor to realize a first starting mode of starting an internal-combustion engine by increasing a rotation speed of the internal-combustion engine to a predetermined first rotation speed by the motor and a second starting mode of starting the internal-combustion engine by increasing the rotation speed of the internal-combustion engine to a second rotation speed higher than the first rotation speed by the motor and a determination unit determines whether to allow the second starting mode based on a predetermined vehicle starting condition at the time of activating a vehicle (S, S, S, S) and determines whether to allow the second starting mode based on an EV traveling condition different from the vehicle starting condition while supplying driving power to a vehicle wheel only from the motor (S, S, S).
