Abstract
The vehicle includes a power source, a power transmission device that transmits power from the power source to a drive wheel, and an operation device that is operated by a driver to an operation position corresponding to a shift position of the power transmission device. The control device of the vehicle includes a shift control unit that changes an N-position switching time from when the vehicle is operated to the neutral operation position until when the vehicle is switched to the neutral position based on the vehicle state. The shift control unit shortens the N-position switching time as compared with a case where the driving force of the drive wheel is large.
