A vehicle control apparatus, comprising: at least one sensor which is configured to acquire object information on objects in a surrounding area around an own vehicle; and an electronic control unit which is configured to execute a collision avoiding control of avoiding collision of the own vehicle with the object (n) when the electronic control unit determines, based on the object information, that a predetermined execution condition that the own vehicle is going to collide with the object (n), becomes satisfied, the collision avoiding control including: a steering control of changing a steering angle of the own vehicle to move the own vehicle along a target route set to avoid collision of the own vehicle with the object; and a braking force control of applying braking force to the own vehicle so as to realize a target deceleration, characterized in that the electronic control unit is further configured to: terminate executing the steering control and decrease the target deceleration at a first rate (ΔG1) to terminate execution of the braking force control when a predetermined steering termination condition that the collision of the own vehicle with the object (n) has been avoided by the steering control, becomes satisfied; and terminate executing the steering control and decrease the target deceleration at a second rate (ΔG2) to terminate the execution of the braking force control when a predetermined cancelation condition that a driver of the own vehicle carries out a driving maneuver, becomes satisfied, and the second rate (ΔG2) is greater than the first rate (ΔG1). at least one sensor which is configured to acquire object information on objects in a surrounding area around an own vehicle; and an electronic control unit which is configured to execute a collision avoiding control of avoiding collision of the own vehicle with the object (n) when the electronic control unit determines, based on the object information, that a predetermined execution condition that the own vehicle is going to collide with the object (n), becomes satisfied, the collision avoiding control including: a steering control of changing a steering angle of the own vehicle to move the own vehicle along a target route set to avoid collision of the own vehicle with the object; and a braking force control of applying braking force to the own vehicle so as to realize a target deceleration, a steering control of changing a steering angle of the own vehicle to move the own vehicle along a target route set to avoid collision of the own vehicle with the object; and a braking force control of applying braking force to the own vehicle so as to realize a target deceleration, characterized in that the electronic control unit is further configured to: terminate executing the steering control and decrease the target deceleration at a first rate (ΔG1) to terminate execution of the braking force control when a predetermined steering termination condition that the collision of the own vehicle with the object (n) has been avoided by the steering control, becomes satisfied; and terminate executing the steering control and decrease the target deceleration at a second rate (ΔG2) to terminate the execution of the braking force control when a predetermined cancelation condition that a driver of the own vehicle carries out a driving maneuver, becomes satisfied, and terminate executing the steering control and decrease the target deceleration at a first rate (ΔG1) to terminate execution of the braking force control when a predetermined steering termination condition that the collision of the own vehicle with the object (n) has been avoided by the steering control, becomes satisfied; and terminate executing the steering control and decrease the target deceleration at a second rate (ΔG2) to terminate the execution of the braking force control when a predetermined cancelation condition that a driver of the own vehicle carries out a driving maneuver, becomes satisfied, and the second rate (ΔG2) is greater than the first rate (ΔG1).
