Vehicle control apparatus

A vehicle control apparatus having a steering apparatus, a driving force controller configured to control a driving force of a vehicle, a brake configured to apply different braking forces to left and right wheels, and a controller, the vehicle control apparatus being characterized in that the controller is configured to:

• execute vehicle attitude control for controlling the driving force controller to reduce the driving force of the vehicle, based on a turning operation of the steering apparatus;
• increase a control amount of the vehicle attitude control as a steering speed of the steering apparatus during the turning operation increases;
• when a value corresponding to a returning operation of the steering apparatus reaches or exceeds a predetermined threshold value, execute vehicle yaw control for controlling the brake to apply to the vehicle a yaw moment in a direction opposite to a yaw rate generated in the vehicle, based on the returning operation of the steering apparatus;
• and
• at time of execution of the vehicle yaw control after executing the vehicle attitude control, decrease the threshold value as the control amount of the vehicle attitude control increases.
