A vehicle control apparatus comprising: a sensor including a steering angle sensor for sensing a steering angle value and a speed sensor for sensing a vehicle speed value of a vehicle; an active camber device including a knuckle for supporting a wheel of the vehicle, an upper arm having one end rotatably connected to the knuckle to form a stroke node, and an actuator for rotationally shifting the stroke node of the upper arm with respect to a connection point with the knuckle in a vertical direction; and a controller configured to calculate a sensed lateral acceleration value on the basis of the sensed steering angle value and the sensed vehicle speed value and to vary a position of the stoke node of the upper arm through the actuator on the basis of the sensed vehicle speed value and the sensed lateral acceleration value, characterised in that the controller is further configured to: determine a status of a steering intention of a driver using the sensed vehicle speed value and the sensed lateral acceleration value; and upon determining the status of the steering intention of the driver, transmit a drive command to the active camber device such that a stroke position value of the active camber device is shifted to a target stroke position value that is set to correspond to a speed range of the vehicle and a degree of the steering intention of the driver during a turning posture pre-control period in advance, to reduce a turning posture control time in which the active camber device performs a turning posture control corresponding to a turning direction during a turning posture control period. a sensor including a steering angle sensor for sensing a steering angle value and a speed sensor for sensing a vehicle speed value of a vehicle; an active camber device including a knuckle for supporting a wheel of the vehicle, an upper arm having one end rotatably connected to the knuckle to form a stroke node, and an actuator for rotationally shifting the stroke node of the upper arm with respect to a connection point with the knuckle in a vertical direction; and a controller configured to calculate a sensed lateral acceleration value on the basis of the sensed steering angle value and the sensed vehicle speed value and to vary a position of the stoke node of the upper arm through the actuator on the basis of the sensed vehicle speed value and the sensed lateral acceleration value, characterised in that the controller is further configured to: determine a status of a steering intention of a driver using the sensed vehicle speed value and the sensed lateral acceleration value; and upon determining the status of the steering intention of the driver, transmit a drive command to the active camber device such that a stroke position value of the active camber device is shifted to a target stroke position value that is set to correspond to a speed range of the vehicle and a degree of the steering intention of the driver during a turning posture pre-control period in advance, to reduce a turning posture control time in which the active camber device performs a turning posture control corresponding to a turning direction during a turning posture control period. determine a status of a steering intention of a driver using the sensed vehicle speed value and the sensed lateral acceleration value; and upon determining the status of the steering intention of the driver, transmit a drive command to the active camber device such that a stroke position value of the active camber device is shifted to a target stroke position value that is set to correspond to a speed range of the vehicle and a degree of the steering intention of the driver during a turning posture pre-control period in advance, to reduce a turning posture control time in which the active camber device performs a turning posture control corresponding to a turning direction during a turning posture control period. <EOS>
