Abstract
In a vehicle having a continuously variable transmission, a controller selectively performs a first control mode in which a transmission ratio is controlled in a stepless manner, and a second control mode in which the transmission ratio is controlled in a stepwise manner to perform an upshift after a vehicle speed has increased. When the second control mode is selected in response to a driver's acceleration request, the controller continuously downshifts the transmission ratio until the upshift is performed.
