Abstract

A hybrid vehicle control device for a drive system is provided with an engine, a motor and an automatic transmission. The hybrid vehicle control device is configured such that when there is a mode switch request during an EV mode where only the motor is used as a drive source, a shift is made to an HEV mode where the engine and the motor are used as drive sources. The hybrid vehicle control device is further configured such that if a mode switch request and a downshift request for the automatic transmission (are generated, mode switch control is immediately started first. The configuration is also such that downshift control is started once the rotational speed of the engine has reached a combustion possible rotational speed, and the transmission speed at this time is made to be faster than an ordinary transmission speed.
