A vehicle drive device comprising:
- an input member drivably coupled to an internal combustion engine;
- an output member drivably coupled to wheels;
- a single wheel drive rotary electric machine that transfers a drive force to the output member;
- a speed change mechanism provided in a power transfer path that connects between the wheel drive rotary electric machine and the output member;
- and
- an inverter device that controls the wheel drive rotary electric machine, wherein
- the input member, the wheel drive rotary electric machine, and the speed change mechanism are disposed coaxially and side by side in an axial direction;
- and
- the inverter device is disposed so as to axially overlap the speed change mechanism and so as not to axially overlap the wheel drive rotary electric machine.
