A drive power from an engine is transferred to front wheel drive systems and
rear
wheel drive systems via a central differential. A torque distribution ratio between
front and rear wheels defined by the central differential is set to one for the
front wheels being made too much thereof, with a motor generator being coupled
to the rear wheel drive systems. In response to detection signals from various
sensors for detecting the running conditions, a drive power control unit controls
the additional torque from the motor generator toward the drive torque or regenerative
braking torque side, thereby changing the torque distribution ratio between the
front and rear wheels. Thus, a degree of flexibility in making a change in the
torque distribution between front and rear wheels or between right and left wheels
is increased, thereby realizing an all-wheel drivable hybrid vehicle which provides
further improved running performance.
