Vehicle driving-torque control device

A vehicular driving torque control method, comprising:

• controlling, with a controller, a driving torque of a vehicular power source in accordance with a target driving torque in a traveling state;
• executing, with the controller, an increase variation rate limiting process in which a variation rate of the target driving torque at a time of an increase in the target driving torque is limited not to exceed a limitation variation rate;
• setting, with the controller, in a form of the limitation variation rate, a low torque side limitation variation rate used in a low torque side until the target driving torque reaches to a torque variation rate switching threshold value and a high torque side limitation variation rate used in a high torque side exceeding the torque variation rate switching threshold value;
• and
• executing, with the controller, a limitation suppression variation rate setting process in which the low torque side limitation variation rate is set to be larger than the high torque side limitation variation rate until the target driving torque reaches the torque variation rate switching threshold value.
