VEHICLE AND VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD

An ECU 200 executes a program including the steps of, when the selection of a second CD mode has been canceled and there is a difference between a current value of running power and a target value of the running power after the cancellation of the selection of the second CD mode (YES in S100), turning on a limitation request flag for limiting an increase rate of running power Ptrv (S102), when there is not a difference between the current value and the target value (NO in S104), turning off the limitation request flag (S106), and when the limitation request flag is ON (YES in S108) and a stroke amount of an accelerator pedal has been increased (YES in S110), turning on an increase-in-stroke-amount determination flag for relaxing the limitation on the increase rate of the running power.
