Abstract:
A vehicle includes: an internal combustion engine including a fuel injection valve, a spark plug, and an electrically powered motor that rotates a crankshaft; and a controller that causes the internal combustion engine to start in a case where a starting condition is established while the internal combustion engine is stopped. The controller is configured to perform, when the starting condition is established, a first firing-combined starting that injects fuel into the combustion chamber by means of the fuel injection valve and performs, for a first time, a firing that ignites the injected fuel by means of the spark plug and, together therewith, starts driving of the motor, and after the speed of the internal combustion engine exceeds a predetermined determination threshold value that is greater than a resonance band, performs the firing for a second and succeeding times in sequence.
