Abstract:
In a hybrid vehicle including: an engine having an exhaust system in which a filter that removes particulate matter is provided; a motor configured to generate a driving force for the hybrid vehicle; a power storage device configured to exchange an electric power with the motor; and an electronic control unit configured to control the engine and the motor. When an accumulation amount of the particulate matter of the filter is equal to or more than a predetermined accumulation amount, the electronic control unit is configured to permit fuel cut of the engine when a temperature of the filter is lower than a predetermined temperature, and the electronic control unit is configured to prohibit the fuel cut of the engine when the temperature of the filter is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature.
