Abstract:
A hybrid vehicle includes: an engine, a first motor generator configured to generate electric power using power of the engine; a second MG connected to driving wheels; a power storage device electrically connected to the first MG and the second MG; and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to execute pre-change control of changing an amount of power stored in the power storage device in advance before the hybrid vehicle enters a control target section on a scheduled traveling route and EV priority control of suppressing activation of the engine more when the hybrid vehicle travels in a specific area than when the hybrid vehicle travels in an area other than the specific area. The electronic control unit is configured to prohibit execution of the EV priority control during execution of the pre-change control.
