Abstract
A vehicle includes an engine and an engine start controller. The engine start controller is configured to derive an integrated value while a target driving force derived on a basis of an accelerator operation amount is larger than or equal to a predetermined first threshold value from a time point when the target driving force becomes larger than or equal to the first threshold value, and to start the engine when the integrated value becomes larger than or equal to a predetermined second threshold value. The integrated value is obtained by integrating a difference value between the target driving force and the first threshold value.
