Abstract: A vehicle travel control device sets a first travel state in which a vehicle is caused to travel only by an internal combustion engine and a second travel state in which the vehicle is caused to travel by the internal combustion engine and an electric motor. The first travel state and the second travel state are switched to each other on the basis of vehicle information including the depression amount of an accelerator pedal. When a remaining electric power amount detected by a remaining electric power amount detection unit is less than a first predetermined value, a reaction force application unit sets a first accelerator pedal depression amount threshold at which the reaction force of the accelerator pedal is increased just before the switching from the first travel state to the second travel state.

Abstract: A reaction force control unit calculates a driver's requested output and then estimates a maximum output that can be generated by an engine in a current cylinder deactivation operation. Next, the reaction force control unit calculates a difference between the maximum output and the requested output as an output difference and then determines whether the output difference has reached a predetermined reaction force start threshold value, and if the determination result is Yes, the reaction force control unit estimates a number of to-be-reactivated cylinders on the basis of the output difference and the current cylinder deactivation operation state. Subsequently, the reaction force control unit sets a target reaction force on the basis of the output difference and the number of to-be-reactivated cylinders, and outputs drive current to a reaction force actuator.
