Patent number: 12233891Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus includes an electric motor, an engine, and a control system. The control system executes a first speed mode or a second speed mode as a speed mode of the transmission on the basis of a driving operation performed by a driver, sets a speed ratio on a lower side in the second speed mode than in the first speed mode in a case where an accelerator operation performed by the driver is cancelled, executes a first assist mode or a second assist mode as an assist mode in which the electric motor is brought into a power-running state, and switches the assist mode to the second assist mode in a case where the amount of the accelerator operation is increased greater than a starting threshold while the second speed mode is being executed.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2022Date of Patent: February 25, 2025Assignee: SUBARU CORPORATIONInventors: Masaki Komuro, Shigemoto Horie, Shin Sawano, Shinya Sagawa
