VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME

Disclosed is a system and method for controlling a vehicle using a predetermined driving mode of a driving route. A vehicle includes an engine, a speed detector configured to detect a driving speed; a slope detector configured to detect a slope of a road. The vehicle further comprises a controller configured to control driving of the engine using a predetermined driving mode. While controlling the vehicle according to the predetermined driving mode, the controller obtains current road condition information based on the vehicle's driving speed and slope of the load, and determines whether the vehicle deviates from a route based on the current road condition information and reference road condition information. When it is determined that the vehicle deviates from the route of the predetermined driving mode, the controller ends the predetermined driving mode and starts a general driving mode.
