Control device for hybrid vehicle

A control device for a hybrid vehicle including an engine and a motor generator used as drive sources, a clutch mechanism that disconnects the engine and the motor generator from each other, and an engine starter that starts the engine, with the clutch mechanism being in a disengaged state, wherein

• upon starting the engine with the engine starter, both of the motor generator and the engine starter are used to start the engine, with the clutch mechanism being engaged, and
• an engagement command for engaging the clutch mechanism is sent before sending a start command for starting the engine,
• a preceding sending time of sending the engagement command for engaging the clutch mechanism, which precede sending the start command for starting the engine, is a time that is equal to or greater than a difference between a start response time from the sending of the start command for starting the engine to a time that the rotation speed of the engine starts to increase, and a clutch response time from the sending of the engagement command for engaging the clutch mechanism to a rise in a transmission torque of the clutch mechanism, and
• the preceding sending time or the start response time is determined based on a stop phase position of the engine according to a pre-stored relation.
