Abstract
ECU of the motor vehicle controls the driving condition of the engine and the shift stage of the automatic transmission. ECU controls a determination step of determining whether a downshift occurs in the accelerator-on state during the downshift associated with the accelerator-off, and a torque-up step of increasing the torque based on the operation of the electronic control throttle of the engine when the downshift occurs in the accelerator-on state. In the torque-up step, the first throttle torque request amount in the first period before the start of the inertia phase is made smaller than the second throttle torque request amount in the second period after the start of the inertia phase.
