Abstract

A control device for the vehicle is provided with a catalyst temperature raising control part configured to perform catalyst temperature raising control raising a temperature of an exhaust purification catalyst of an internal combustion engine. The catalyst temperature raising control part is configured to perform catalyst temperature raising control when the temperature of the exhaust purification catalyst is less than a predetermined temperature raising reference temperature higher than an activation temperature where the exhaust purification function of the exhaust purification catalyst is activated if when driving over a driving route in accordance with a driving plan, the exhaust purification catalyst was already heated on the driving route when driving over an EV section driven on by the EV mode and there is a CS section driven on by the CS mode in the remaining driving sections on the driving route.
