- MG1 is driven by the engine 160 to generate power (time t46 to t47 in FIG. 8).
- the ratio of the driving force distributed to MG2 and engine 160 when executing the acceleration travel is appropriately determined in consideration of the efficiency of MG2 and engine 160. Therefore, depending on the efficiency of MG2 and engine 160, the driving force distributed to MG2 may be greater than the driving force distributed to engine 160, and vice versa.

- the engine 160 may not be driven when the power required by the user can be covered by the driving force generated only by MG2.
- ECU 300 reduces the vehicle speed SPD to lower limit value LL (YES in S135), based on the user required power. Acceleration running is executed by driving MG2 and engine 160 using the driving force distributed at a predetermined ratio (S142A). When vehicle speed SPD increases to upper limit value UL (YES in S130), ECU 300 stops MG2 and engine 160 and executes inertial running (S140A).
- ECU 300 causes MG2 and engine 160 to drive at a predetermined ratio when accelerating (YES in S127). If it is decelerating (NO in S127), MG2 and engine 160 are stopped or regenerative operation by MG2 is executed to decelerate (S148A).
- Steps S150 and S160 added in FIG. 9 are processes used when charging the power storage device 110 with the generated power of the MG1.
