Abstract
An apparatus and method for controlling driving of a hybrid vehicle are provided. The apparatus includes a state identifying unit that identifies a driving state of a vehicle based on driving information of the vehicle during lock-up driving of the vehicle and a determination unit that determines whether the identified driving state satisfies a preset lock-up charge driving mode entering condition and determines a deceleration volition of a driver based on the identified driving state. When the identified driving state satisfies the lock-up charge driving mode entering condition a driving controller interrupts the vehicle from entering into a lock-up charge driving mode when the driver has a deceleration intention.
