Abstract:
A hybrid vehicle includes an engine, a motor, the engine and the motor being driving sources, a first traveling mode in which the vehicle is driven utilizing an output of the engine, and a second traveling mode in which the vehicle is driven through an output of the motor with the engine stopped. The hybrid vehicle further includes an air density detecting section configured to detect an air density of an environment under which the vehicle travels and, in a case where the detected air density is reduced with respect to a standard air density, the motor output in the second traveling mode is reduced with respect to the motor output in a standard air density such that a driving force of the vehicle in the second traveling mode when the traveling mode is switched approaches the driving force of the vehicle in the first traveling mode.
