Claim:
A control method of a hybrid vehicle, the hybrid vehicle including: an internal combustion engine that outputs power to a driveshaft linked with an axle of the vehicle; a motoring assembly that is connected to an output shaft of the internal combustion engine via a gear mechanism and motors the internal combustion engine with input and output of torques from and to the driveshaft; and a motor that inputs and outputs power from and to the driveshaft, when a start command of the internal combustion engine is given in absence of a driver's power demand in a rotation stop state of the driveshaft, the control method controlling the internal combustion engine, the motoring assembly, and the motor to bring the internal combustion engine into a state of complete explosion and combustion with setting a starting torque of the internal combustion engine to a preset level of chattering control torque in motoring the internal combustion engine by the motoring assembly and to terminate the motoring of the internal combustion engine by the motoring assembly after the complete explosion and combustion in the internal combustion engine.
