When a state of a vehicle is a predetermined state of the vehicle where vehicle vibration occurs, weak circulating torque is generated to fill backlash inside an automatic transmission and in a power transmission path by half-engaging a second clutch for establishing a second power transmission path while a first power transmission path remains established in the automatic transmission. A speed ratio of the second power transmission path is alternatively set to a lower vehicle speed-side speed ratio with respect to a speed ratio of the first power transmission path or a higher vehicle speed-side speed ratio with respect to the speed ratio of the first power transmission path in response to a traveling state. It is possible to generate weak circulating torque in a direction to increase an input shaft rotation speed or in a direction to reduce the input shaft rotation speed in accordance with the traveling state.

A vehicle includes a generator, a battery, a transmission, and a controller. The generator is configured to recharge the battery at a maximum power output when a generator speed is above a threshold speed. The transmission is configured to downshift during regenerative braking such that the generator speed is maintained above the threshold speed. The controller is programmed to, in response to a decrease in battery temperature corresponding to a decrease in generator speed required to maintain the maximum power output, decrease the threshold speed.
