VEHICLE CONTROL APPARATUS

A vehicle control apparatus includes a determination processor and a regeneration controller. During traveling in a first travel mode, the determination processor determines a timing at which a regenerative braking force based on a motor regenerative force is to be increased under the condition that an accelerator-off operation period is equal to or less than a predetermined period. During traveling in a second travel mode, the determination processor refrains from determining the timing at which the regenerative braking force is to be increased under the sole condition that the accelerator-off operation period is equal to or less than the predetermined period. The regeneration controller performs control that increases the motor regenerative force as the determination processor determines the timing at which the regenerative braking force is to be increased.
