Abstract
The hybrid vehicle includes an internal combustion engine, a rotary electric machine, an electrical storage device and a controller. The controller is configured to execute output control. An opening degree of the throttle valve is controlled in the output control such that, when a temperature of the electrical storage device is lower than a predetermined temperature, the output of the internal combustion engine is reduced below a predetermined output. The controller is further configured to control the variable valve actuating device such that at least one of a valve lift or valve operating angle of the intake valve at the time when the output control is executed is larger than the corresponding at least one of the valve lift or valve operating angle of the intake valve at the time when the output control is not executed.
