A control device of a hybrid vehicle includes a pressing torque applying portion configured to control the first rotating machine to output a pressing torque acting in a predetermined backlash elimination direction in backlash elimination in which one of tooth surfaces of meshing gears is pressed against the other at a meshing portion during motor running, so that the pressing torque is applied on the electric transmission mechanism. When an electrical angle of the first rotating machine is within a predetermined electrical angle range in which a cogging torque of the first rotating machine generated in accordance with rotation of the first rotating machine is equal to or greater than a predetermined torque required for the backlash elimination in the predetermined backlash elimination direction, the pressing torque applying portion makes the pressing torque smaller as compared to when the electrical angle is outside the predetermined electrical angle range.

A controller for a hybrid vehicle performs charging control when a shift range of the hybrid vehicle is a first range, and does not perform the charging control when the shift range of the hybrid vehicle is a second range, the charging control being control of charging a power storage device with electric power generated by a generator driven by an engine. The controller records diagnosis information when an SOC of the power storage device is equal to or lower than a first threshold value and the shift range of the hybrid vehicle is the first range, and does not record the diagnosis information when the SOC of the power storage device is equal to or lower than the first threshold value and the shift range of the hybrid vehicle is the second range.

A vehicle control apparatus includes a planetary gear mechanism, first and second wheels, an engine, a motor generator, a wheel drive clutch, and a control system.
