Abstract
A vehicle control device includes an engine (), an engine control mechanism that controls an engine torque, and a PCM () that performs 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. When a driver performs an accelerator operation for reducing an accelerator opening during execution of vehicle posture control, the PCM () suppresses reduction of a generated torque of the engine due to the accelerator operation.
