Claim:
1. A hybrid vehicle, comprising: an internal combustion engine; a chargeable/dischargeable power storage device; a rotating electric machine generating a traveling drive force by receiving supply of electric power from said power storage device; and a control device configured to select one of a CD (Charge Depleting) mode in which an SOC of said power storage device is consumed and a CS (Charge Sustaining) mode in which said SOC is controlled to close to a target value, wherein said CS mode includes a first CS mode selected based on an operation of a switch by a driver, and a second CS mode selected when said SOC decreases to a predetermined amount, when said first CS mode is selected, said control device starts to control said SOC to close to the target value set by referring to said SOC at a point when said first CS mode is selected by the driver operating the switch, when the CS mode is selected, the control device controls a charge/discharge amount for the power storage device based on the SOC, and the control device sets the charge/discharge amount so that the SOC closes to the target value faster in the first CS mode than in the second CS mode.
