A hybrid vehicle includes an engine, a first motor, a planetary gear, a second motor, a battery and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to execute control such that a reverse travel is made while higher power than power before the positive electrode potential becomes at most equal to a second specified potential is output from the engine when the positive electrode potential becomes at most equal to the second specified potential during the reverse travel, and in which the second specified potential is higher than a first specified potential.
