Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve drivability by making running characteristics more accurately reflect the running environment or driving intention.SOLUTION: A control device of vehicle for searching an index to set the running characteristics of a vehicle based on the running condition of the vehicle is configured in such a way that a change of the index that makes behavior of the vehicle crisper is more likely to occur than a change of the index that makes the behavior of the vehicle milder, wherein when it is determined that the vehicle is in a turning condition, the change of the index or a change of the running characteristic based on the index is less likely to occur than when it is determined that the vehicle is not in the turning condition.
