Abstract
In a vehicle control apparatus, an engine torque calculating unit calculates a developing engine torque Te, and a torque increase/decrease amount calculating unit calculates a torque increase or decrease amount Tmax of an engine which can be increased or decreased. A mode coefficient setting unit sets a mode coefficient k corresponding to a driving mode, and an allowable inertia calculating unit multiplies the torque increase or decrease amount Tmax by the mode coefficient k to calculate an allowable inertia torque Timax. A shift speed calculating unit calculates a shift speed Vof a continuously variable transmission at which the allowable inertia torque Timax is generated, and an upper-limit shift speed setting unit sets an upper-limit shift speed Vbased on the shift speed V. A shift control unit performs shift control of the continuously variable transmission at a shift speed not exceeding the upper-limit shift speed V
