Abstract

A control device of a vehicle including a first differential portion, a second differential portion, and a second rotating machine, the first differential portion including a first rotating element, a second rotating element to which a first rotating machine is coupled in a power transmittable manner, and a third rotating element coupled to drive wheels, the first differential portion having a differential state controlled through control of the operational state of the first rotating machine, the second differential portion including a fourth rotating element to which an engine is coupled in a power transmittable manner, a fifth rotating element, and a sixth rotating element to which the first rotating element is coupled, the second rotating machine being coupled to the drive wheels in a power transmittable manner, the vehicle further including at least one engagement device out of a first engagement device and a second engagement device as well as a third engagement device, the first engagement device coupling any two rotating elements out of the fourth rotating element, the fifth rotating element, and the sixth rotating element, the second engagement device coupling the fifth rotating element to a non-rotatable member, the third engagement device coupling any one rotating element out of the second rotating element and the third rotating element to the fifth rotating element, the control device comprising: an engagement control portion; and a differential rotation suppression control portion, during running of the vehicle in a rotation stop state of the engine, when the engaged state of only the first engagement device or the engaged state of only the second engagement device out of the first engagement device, the second engagement device, and the third engagement device is switched to the engaged state of only the third engagement device, or when the engaged state of only the third engagement device out of the first engagement device, the second engagement device, and the third engagement device is switched to the engaged state of only the first engagement device or the engaged state of only the second engagement device, the engagement control portion configured to put all engagement devices included in the vehicle out of the first engagement device, the second engagement device, and the third engagement device into the released state and, after a differential rotation speed is made equal to or less than a first predetermined value in an engagement-switching engagement device that is an engagement device to be put into the engaged state after the switching, configured to put the engagement-switching engagement device into the engaged state, and the differential rotation suppression control portion configured to control the operation of the first rotating machine so as to make the differential rotation speed equal to or less than the first predetermined value in the engagement-switching engagement device in the released state of all the engagement devices.
