In a hybrid vehicle that does not have a differential rotation absorbing element in the drive system, a hybrid control module controls a driving force to a drive wheel in accordance with a required driving force within a range of a maximum outputable driving force of a traveling drive source. The hybrid control module limits a driving force transmitted to the drive wheel in the HEV mode in accordance with the maximum outputable driving force in the EV mode at the time of the mode transition, when the mode transitions from an EV mode, in which only a first motor/generator is used as the traveling drive source to an HEV mode in which the first motor/generator and an internal combustion engine are used as traveling drive sources when a change in the vehicle speed is occurring.
