Abstract
Disclosed is a vehicle control device which is applied to a vehicle equipped with an engine () and an engine torque adjustment mechanism for adjusting an output torque (engine torque) of the engine (). The vehicle control device comprises a PCM () configured, upon satisfaction of a condition that the vehicle is traveling and a steering angle-related value relevant to a steering angle of a steering device is increasing, to control the engine torque adjustment mechanism to reduce the engine torque so as to generate vehicle deceleration to control vehicle attitude. The PCM () is further configured to gradually ease the condition, as the number of times of combustion per unit time in the engine () becomes smaller.
