ELECTRIFIED VEHICLE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME

A method of controlling an electrified vehicle may include determining a traveling environment level; determining a regenerative braking continuation range and a regenerative braking retention amount according to the traveling environment level when a preset deceleration condition is satisfied; and determining whether to maintain a regenerative braking amount as the regenerative braking retention amount based on whether a vehicle speed is included in the regenerative braking continuation range when the vehicle speed is lower than or equal to a preset regenerative braking termination vehicle speed.
