Abstract
Disclosed are a hybrid vehicle and a method of calculating driving load therefor for determining a more effective gear shift reference in consideration of a driving mode. The method of controlling gear shift of a hybrid vehicle includes predicting required power of a forward driving path, determining a representative driving mode based on mode switch power as a reference of switch between a first driving mode using only an electric motor and a second driving mode using at least an engine and the predicted required power, and applying any one of a first gear shift map corresponding to the first driving mode based on the determined representative driving mode or a second gear shift map corresponding to the second driving mode.
