In a situation where a temperature in a motor compartment is higher than a temperature of outside air, an inside air introduction rate increasing control is performed in which an inside air introduction rate is changed to be increased on a condition that there is no request for warming an inside of the vehicle cabin, the air conditioner is off, and air is being blown in an outside air introduction mode, and on the other hand, the inside air introduction rate increasing control is prohibited on a condition that there is a request for warming the inside of the vehicle cabin, the vehicular air conditioner is off, and air is being blown in the outside air introduction mode. In this way, heating efficiency can be improved by effectively utilizing the heat in the motor compartment to contribute to warming the inside of the vehicle cabin.
A vehicular air conditioner that allows a volume of outside air introduced into a vehicle cabin and a volume of inside air circulated to be varied and allows an inside air introduction rate, which is a ratio of the volume of inside air circulated in a volume of air blown into the vehicle cabin, to be adjusted, the vehicular air conditioner comprising:
