VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE

A first clutch CL1 is disposed between engine Eng and left and right rear wheels RL, RR, and control of disengaging first clutch CL1 is performed by setting line pressure PL as an original pressure and executing F/B control of a piston stroke position. In this FR hybrid vehicle, when disengaging first clutch CL1, line pressure increase control to increase line pressure PL to a value higher than a reference line pressure in advance is started at least before a piston pressure reaches the reference line pressure, and line pressure PL is returned to the reference line pressure when the piston pressure is reduced during this disengagement operation.
