VEHICLE CONTROL APPARATUS, AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME

A vehicle control apparatus includes: a first target driving force calculation unit (101) that calculates a first target driving force based on an accelerator pedal opening; a target speed ratio calculation unit (105) that calculates a target speed ratio of a continuously variable transmission based on the first target driving force; a target torque calculation unit (107) that calculates a target torque of a driving source based on the first target driving force; an air density detection unit that detects air density; and a first correction unit (106) that corrects only the target torque, out of the target speed ratio and the target torque, in accordance with the air density.
