A vehicle drive unit control apparatus causes main and auxiliary actuators to appropriately cooperate with each other, while suppressing the involvement of the auxiliary actuator as much as possible, thereby achieving a desired torque. A future target value of engine-outputted torque and an achievement timing (Te) at which the future target value is achieved are acquired as reservation information related to a reservation of an engine torque adjustment. Then, when the main actuator (throttle) has been activated to perform a torque adjustment, a time required for achieving the future target value is calculated from a current engine operation state. Then, the action of the main actuator is started, for the achievement of the future target value, at a timing (Tt) earlier, by the required time, than the achievement timing (Te). In the meantime, the auxiliary actuator (ignition device) is activated to cancel a torque change accompanying the action of the main actuator during a period from the starting (Tt) of the action of the main actuator till the achievement timing (Te).
