Abstract:
A hybrid vehicle includes: an engine for traveling in which a filter that removes particulate matter is attached to an exhaust system; a motor configured to generate a driving force for the hybrid vehicle; and an electronic control unit configured to restart injection of a fuel into the engine when a needed output of the engine reaches a threshold or higher while the injection of the fuel into the engine is stopped. The electronic control unit is configured to, when a filter regeneration condition that an accumulation amount of the particulate matter on the filter is equal to or more than a predetermined accumulation amount and a temperature of the filter is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature is established, set the threshold to be higher than a threshold set when the filter regeneration condition is not established.
