Control apparatus for vehicle

A control apparatus for a vehicle, comprising:

• a traveling-state detector configured to detect a traveling state of the vehicle;
• a target attitude control amount calculation unit configured to calculate a target attitude control amount of a vehicle body based on the traveling state;
• an attitude control amount calculation unit configured to calculate an attitude control amount controlled by an attitude control actuator other than a shock absorber, based on the target attitude control amount;
• and
• a damping force control unit configured to control a damping force of the shock absorber based on the target attitude control amount and the attitude control amount, wherein the damping force control unit calculates a damping force attitude control amount obtained by excluding the attitude control amount from the target attitude control amount, and controls the damping force based on this damping force attitude control amount.
