Hybrid vehicle

A hybrid vehicle comprising:

• an engine mounted on the hybrid vehicle;
• an electric motor that is a driving source of the hybrid vehicle;
• a battery that supplies electric power to the electric motor;
• an electric generator that receives dynamic power of the engine, the electric generator generating electric power with which the battery is charged;
• a filter that collects particulate matter in exhaust gas from the engine;
• a vehicle control device configured to select one control mode from a plurality of control modes and to control the hybrid vehicle depending on the selected control mode, the plurality of control modes including a Charge Sustaining mode in which decrease in a state-of-charge of the battery is restrained and a Charge Depleting mode in which the electric power of the battery is consumed;
• and
• an engine control device configured to execute a filter regeneration control that is an engine control for removing the particulate matter deposited in the filter, wherein
• the engine control device is configured to:
• adopt satisfaction of a predetermined first condition, as a requirement for execution of the filter regeneration control, when the Charge Depleting mode is selected, and to adopt satisfaction of a second condition, as a requirement for execution of the filter regeneration control, when the Charge Sustaining mode is selected, the second condition being satisfied more easily than the first condition, and
• determine whether the first condition is satisfied and whether the second condition is satisfied, based on a predetermined parameter that is obtained from a measurement result of an operating state of the engine, wherein a value range of the parameter in which the second condition is satisfied is wider than a value range of the parameter in which the first condition is satisfied.
