A vehicle includes an engine (12), a first motor generator (MG1), a second motor generator (MG2), a transmission (30), a differential device (20), and an electronic control unit (64, 68, 70). The transmission includes an input shaft, an output shaft, and a clutch. The electronic control unit is configured to detect a rotation speed difference between the input shaft and the output shaft when the clutch is controlled so as to be brought into a power transmission shut-off state. The electronic control unit is configured to, when the rotation speed difference detected by the electronic control unit is smaller than a predetermined rotation speed difference (±) between the input shaft and the output shaft in a case where the power transmission shut-off state of the clutch is established, inhibit the cranking of the engine using the first motor generator (MG1) and to, when the power transmission shut-off state is established, provoke the cranking of the engine using the first motor generator (MG1).
