Vehicle and control method of the same

A control method of a vehicle, the vehicle including driving wheels, driven wheels, a drive device connected to a drive shaft, a drive force distribution device, and an electronic control unit,

• the drive force distribution device being configured to transmit a drive force from the drive shaft to the driving wheels and the driven wheels and adjust a driving side distribution ratio, and
• the driving side distribution ratio being a ratio of the drive force transmitted from the drive shaft to the driving wheels with respect to a total drive force transmitted from the drive shaft to the driving wheels and the driven wheels,
• the control method comprising:
• executing, by an electronic control unit, a change process on a required torque required for the drive shaft to set a target torque to be output to the drive shaft when the torque output to the drive shaft changes and crosses a value of zero;
• controlling, by the electronic control unit, the drive device such that the target torque is output to the drive shaft;
• and
• setting, by the electronic control unit, the target torque such that a change in the target torque with respect to a change in the required torque is smaller when the driving side distribution ratio is set to a first value than the change in the target torque with respect to the change in the required torque when the driving side distribution ratio is set to be a second value which is larger than the first value.
