A hybrid vehicle comprises an engine configured to output power for driving and equipped with an exhaust emission control device in an exhaust system thereof. The hybrid vehicle further comprises a control device. In response to a predetermined rotation request for rotating the engine with no need to output power from the engine, the control device performs a control to rotate the engine with fuel injection when a catalyst temperature in the exhaust emission control device is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature, while performing a control to rotate the engine without the fuel injection when the catalyst temperature is lower than the predetermined temperature.
