HYBRID VEHICLE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING HYBRID VEHICLE

An HV-ECU performs processing including calculating requested system power, calculating requested engine power when an engine activation request has been issued, setting an operating point on a predetermined operating line, setting an upper limit value of magnitude of an amount of lowering in engine rotation speed to a first value when a vehicle is in a sport running state and when the previous operating point is within a forced induction range, setting the upper limit value to a second value when the vehicle is not in the sport running state or when the previous operating point is not within the forced induction range, correcting the operating point, and outputting an engine operation state command, a first MG torque command, and a second MG torque command.
