ABSTRACT:
A hybrid-vehicle engine start controlling apparatus includes an engine, a motor connected to a vehicle driving shaft, a first engaging element provided between the engine and the motor for connecting and disconnecting the engine and the motor and engine start control means. The engine start controlling means is configured to start the engine by increasing a driving torque of the motor and increasing a transmission torque capacity of the first engaging element so as to increase a rotation speed of the engine by the driving torque of the motor in a state in which the engine is stopped and the first engaging element is released. The engine start controlling means includes a first engaging phase for increasing the transmission torque capacity of the first engaging element at a first velocity, and a second engaging phase for changing the transmission torque capacity at a second velocity lower than the first velocity.
