ABSTRACT:
In response to a driver's braking request operation, for example, the driver's depression of a brake pedal85, a hybrid vehicle20sets a fraction of a regenerative braking torque by a motor MG2and a fraction of a braking torque by a brake unit90relative to a preset braking torque demand Tr* according to the setting of a speed change ratio in a transmission60(steps S280, S290, S310, S320, S390, and S400). The hybrid vehicle20controls the motor MG2to output the regenerative braking torque based on the preset braking torque demand Tr* and the set fraction of the regenerative braking torque, while controlling the brake unit90to enable the braking torque based on the preset braking force demand Tr* and the regenerative braking torque by the motor MG2to be applied in a distributive manner at a preset front-rear braking torque distribution ratio ‘d’ to front wheels39aand39band to rear wheels39cand39d.
