Abstract
A method for controlling a response to driving load of a hybrid vehicle includes: estimating an optimum speed for a current driving situation, estimating a target driving load based on the optimum speed, determining an eco-level corresponding to the target driving load from among a plurality of eco-levels, and changing at least some of an eco-gauge according to the determined eco-level.
