Abstract
A vehicle control device for a vehicle includes an engine; and a power converter, so that the vehicle travels by selectively executing one of a first traveling mode, a second traveling mode, and a third traveling mode in which the vehicle travels by a torque of both the engine and the rotation electric machine. Further, in a case where an air pressure around the vehicle and a system voltage are in a predetermined area of a preset map indicating a relationship between the air pressure and the system voltage, the vehicle control device is configured to reduce a switching speed of a switching element of the power converter to be lower than a normal speed, and cause the engine to operate, limit a torque of the rotation electric machine, and execute the third traveling mode.
