Abstract
A vehicle control device includes an enginecapable of switching between reduced-cylinder operation and all-cylinder operation, an engine control mechanism that controls an engine torque, and a PCMthat executes vehicle posture control for generating vehicle deceleration by controlling the engine control mechanism to reduce the engine torque upon satisfaction of a condition that a vehicle is travelling and a steering angle-related value related to a steering angle of a steering device increases. In addition, this PCMpermits the execution of the vehicle posture control when an engine rotation speed is more than or equal to a first rotation speed Neand permits the execution of the reduced-cylinder operation of the enginewhen the engine rotation speed is more than or equal to a second rotation speed Nethat is more than the first rotation speed Ne
