Vehicle control device

The present invention provides a vehicle control device capable of suppressing a temporary sudden drop in the driving force of a vehicle in conjunction with the disengagement of a clutch when switching from a low-speed engine travel mode to a hybrid travel mode. A control device (100) is capable of deriving a required driving force required for travel of a vehicle (1) on the basis of an output request (AP opening degree) received from a driver, and controlling the driving force of the vehicle (1) using the required driving force as a target value, and if the required driving force increases when the vehicle (1) travels in a low-speed-side engine travel mode, the required driving force increases when the vehicle (1) travels in a low-speed-side engine travel mode. The control device (100) switches to a hybrid travel mode if the output request is received from the driver, and performs a drive force reduction control (referring to an arrow shown in Figure 3 Figure A) in which the amount of increase in the require
