A hybrid vehicle includes: a driving power source including an engine and an electric motor; a battery that supplies electric power to the electric motor; and a controller that controls the engine and the electric motor according to a temperature of the battery. When a predetermined EV mode condition is satisfied, and a normal-temperature condition in which the temperature of the battery is a threshold or more is satisfied, the controller controls the driving power source in an EV mode in which the electric motor is driven. When the EV mode condition is satisfied, and a low-temperature condition in which the temperature of the battery is less than the threshold is satisfied, the controller operates the electric motor in a state where electric current flows between the battery and the electric motor drives the engine such that the engine generates traveling power transmitted to a driving wheel.
