Vehicle and method for controlling vehicle

A vehicle comprising:

• a driving source for generating driving power for traveling of the vehicle;
• a control device for controlling said driving source;
• and
• an inclination detecting unit for detecting inclination of a road surface,
• said control device performing power changing driving in which the vehicle is traveled while switching said driving source between a first state and a second state, said control device setting driving power of a first level being generated said driving source in said first state to be a first level, said control device setting driving power of said driving source in said second state to be smaller than the first level in said first state,
• when it is recognized that the vehicle is traveling on an uphill road based on the inclination detected by said inclination detecting unit, said control device setting the driving power in said first state to be larger than driving power set when the vehicle is traveling on a flat road,
• when said power changing driving is being performed, said control device switching to said first state in response to speed of the vehicle being decreased to a lower limit value of a permitted range, and switching to said second state in response to speed of the vehicle being increased to an upper limit value of said permitted range,
• when the vehicle is traveling on the uphill road, said control device setting said upper limit value to be lower than an upper limit value set when the vehicle is traveling on the flat road.
