A vehicle includes an engine, a starter motor, a torque converter, a lock-up clutch configured to perform lock-up, a traveling motor, and a controller. The controller is configured to perform processing including: switching between an engine traveling mode in which the vehicle travels using the engine and a motor traveling mode in which the vehicle travels using the traveling motor; and prohibiting, in response to a request to switch from the motor traveling mode to the engine traveling mode, the lock-up when a rotational speed of the engine is lower than a self-recovery lower limit rotational speed and higher than a starter motor drive upper limit rotational speed.
