VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM AND VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD

Provided are an engine orientation control amount calculator unit (332) (motive power source orientation control means) for calculating an engine orientation control amount for a vehicle engine (1) constituting a first orientation control device that will yield a target orientation for vehicle body orientation and outputting the amount to the engine (1), second orientation control means for calculating a second orientation control amount for a second orientation control device that will yield a target orientation for vehicle body orientation and outputting the amount to the second orientation control device, a driving state estimator unit (32) (state quantity detection means) for detecting a state quantity indicating vehicle body orientation, and a skyhook control unit (33a) (orientation control means) for controlling vehicle body orientation using the engine orientation control amount calculator unit (332) when the absolute value of the amplitude of the detected state quantity is less than a first predetermined value, and using second orientation control means in addition to the engine orientation control amount calculator unit (332) when the absolute value of the amplitude is equal to or greater than the first predetermined value.
