A hybrid vehicle comprising: an engine mounted on the vehicle; a running-use motor; a battery for supplying electric power to the running-use motor; an electric generator for supplying electric power to the battery; vehicle speed detecting means (se1, se2) for detecting a speed of the vehicle (Sv); and remaining capacity detecting means for detecting a remaining capacity of the battery, the vehicle having: a first running mode in which the engine is stopped, and the vehicle runs by a drive of the running-use motor; a second running mode in which the electric generator is operated by a drive of the engine, and the vehicle runs by the drive of the running-use motor; and a third running mode in which the vehicle runs by the drive of the engine and the drive of the running-use motor; wherein the vehicle comprises mode selecting means for selecting a running mode so that in a state in which the remaining capacity is equal to or more than a predetermined first threshold value, the vehicle runs in the first or the second running mode in a case that the speed detected by the vehicle speed detecting means is less than a predetermined first speed, and the vehicle runs in the third running mode in a case that the detected speed is equal to or more than the predetermined first speed, the vehicle is characterized by: in a state in which the remaining capacity is less than the predetermined first threshold value the mode selecting means selects the third running mode in a case that the speed detected by the vehicle speed detecting means is equal to or more than a predetermined second speed that is less than the predetermined first speed, the mode selecting means selects the second running mode in a case that the detected speed is less than the predetermined second speed and is equal to or more than a predetermined third speed that is further less than the predetermined second speed, and the mode selecting means selects the first running mode or the second running mode in a case that the detected speed is less than the predetermined third speed. a first running mode in which the engine is stopped, and the vehicle runs by a drive of the running-use motor; a second running mode in which the electric generator is operated by a drive of the engine, and the vehicle runs by the drive of the running-use motor; and a third running mode in which the vehicle runs by the drive of the engine and the drive of the running-use motor; wherein the vehicle comprises mode selecting means for selecting a running mode so that in a state in which the remaining capacity is equal to or more than a predetermined first threshold value, the vehicle runs in the first or the second running mode in a case that the speed detected by the vehicle speed detecting means is less than a predetermined first speed, and the vehicle runs in the third running mode in a case that the detected speed is equal to or more than the predetermined first speed, the vehicle is characterized by: in a state in which the remaining capacity is less than the predetermined first threshold value the mode selecting means selects the third running mode in a case that the speed detected by the vehicle speed detecting means is equal to or more than a predetermined second speed that is less than the predetermined first speed, the mode selecting means selects the second running mode in a case that the detected speed is less than the predetermined second speed and is equal to or more than a predetermined third speed that is further less than the predetermined second speed, and the mode selecting means selects the first running mode or the second running mode in a case that the detected speed is less than the predetermined third speed.
