Abstract
A control system for a hybrid vehicle configured to shift an operating mode from a single-motor mode to a hybrid-low mode without causing a temporal drop in a drive force. A controller is configured to predict an execution of a mode change from the single-motor mode to the first hybrid mode, and to execute the mode change from the single-motor mode to the hybrid-low mode via a hybrid-high mode, if the execution of the mode change from the single-motor mode to the hybrid-low mode is predicted.
