Abstract
A vehicle travel control device sets a first travel state in which a vehicle is caused to travel only by an internal combustion engine and a second travel state in which the vehicle is caused to travel by the internal combustion engine and an electric motor. The first travel state and the second travel state are switched to each other on the basis of vehicle information including the depression amount of an accelerator pedal. When a remaining electric power amount detected by a remaining electric power amount detection unit is less than a first predetermined value, a reaction force application unit sets a first accelerator pedal depression amount threshold at which the reaction force of the accelerator pedal is increased just before the switching from the first travel state to the second travel state.
