A control apparatus for a vehicle including: (i) an engine; (ii) an input rotary member connected to the engine; (iii) an electric transmission mechanism that includes a differential mechanism configured to receive a power of the engine via the input rotary member and an electric motor connected to the differential mechanism; and (vi) a mechanical oil pump configured, when being driven by rotation of the input rotary member, to supply an oil for lubricating the differential mechanism. The differential mechanism includes a first rotary element connected to the input rotary member, a second rotary element connected to the electric motor, and a third rotary element connected to drive wheel. The control apparatus is configured to execute an electric-motor stop control for stopping the electric motor, each time a cumulative time or a cumulative distance of a towed running of the vehicle reaches a predetermined time or distance.
