Provided is a vehicle turning control device which prevents a target yaw rate from being unstable, even if a control gain is changed in accordance with the magnitude of a yaw rate deviation or a road surface frictional coefficient. This vehicle turning control device includes a target yaw rate correction (32).

Disclosed is a system and method for controlling a vehicle using a predetermined driving mode of a driving route. A vehicle includes an engine, a speed detector configured to detect a driving speed; a slope detector configured to detect a slope of a road. The vehicle further comprises a controller configured to control driving of the engine using a predetermined driving mode.
