Abstract:
1. A vehicle comprising: an engine; motor that can generate cranking torque applied to a rotation shaft of said engine; and a control device that controls said motor so that said cranking torque becomes a target torque when a starting request of said engine is issued; when said starting request is issued during coasting of said engine in which combustion does not occur, said control device changing said target torque such that a corresponding value of a rotation speed of the engine is changed from being higher than a predetermined threshold speed to being lower than said predetermined threshold speed and such that misfire of said engine is avoided, said predetermined threshold speed being a value corresponding to a lower limit value of a rotation region where misfire of said engine occurs in a state where an amount of intake air to said engine is smaller than a predetermined amount wherein said predetermined threshold speed is a value corresponding to the lower limit value of the rotation region where misfire of said engine occurs in a state where an amount of intake air to said engine is a minimal amount.
