Vehicle control device

The present invention provides a vehicle control device that improves acceleration performance of a hybrid vehicle by appropriately controlling a transmission and an electric motor. The vehicle control device includes a control system that controls the electric motor and the transmission. The control system executes a first shift mode or a second shift mode as a shift mode of the transmission based on a driving operation of a driver. When the accelerator operation by the driver is released, the gear ratio of the second shift mode is lower than the gear ratio of the first shift mode. The control system executes a first assist mode or a second assist mode in which a power operation torque is greater than a power operation torque of the first assist mode as an assist mode in which the electric motor is controlled to a power operation state. The control system switches the assist mode to the second assist mode when the second shift mode is being executed and the accelerator operation amount by the driver exceeds
