Abstract
A vehicle includes a drive device for traveling, and a control device configured to control the drive device so that the vehicle travels with a target driving force based on an accelerator operation amount. The control device is configured to set the target driving force such that a change in the target driving force with respect to a change in the accelerator operation amount is gentler in a case where steady traveling is desired as compared with a case where the steady traveling is not desired. Therefore, in a case where the steady traveling is desired, a variation of a vehicle speed with respect to a slight variation of the accelerator operation amount can be gentle and continuous steady traveling can be facilitated.
