HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL APPARATUS

In order to reduce the sense of discomfort that an occupant feels due to an engine starting sound at the time of engine startup by a system request, an FF hybrid vehicle control device is provided with: an engine (1); a starter motor (6); a motor/generator (3); and an integrated controller (24). The starter motor (6) starts the engine (1). The motor/generator (3) can transmit a motor torque to the engine (1) and left and right front wheels (12, 12). The integrated controller (24) performs a starting motor selective control such that, when an EV mode using the motor/generator (3) as driving source is selected, the engine is started using the starter motor (6) in response to a driving force request, or the engine is started using the motor/generator (3) in response to the system request ( Fig. 2 ).
