Motor vehicle
The motor vehicle comprises a first motor configured to drive front wheels; a second motor configured to drive rear wheels; and a control device configured to control the first motor and the second motor, such that the motor vehicle is driven with a required torque for driving. The control device controls the first motor and the second motor to set a larger value to a rear wheel distribution ratio that is a ratio of a torque of the rear wheels to the required torque, when the motor vehicle runs on a low μ road having a road surface friction coefficient equal to or less than a predetermined value and is currently turned, compared with a value when the motor vehicle does not run on the low μ road or when the motor vehicle is not currently turned.
1. A motor vehicle, comprising:
a first motor configured to drive front wheels;
a second motor configured to drive rear wheels; and
a control device configured to control the first motor and the second motor such that the motor vehicle is driven with a required torque for driving, wherein
the control device controls the first motor and the second motor to set a larger value to a rear wheel distribution ratio that is a ratio of a torque of the rear wheels to the required torque, when the motor vehicle runs on a low μ road having a road surface friction coefficient equal to or less than a predetermined value and the motor vehicle is currently turned, compared with a value when the motor vehicle does not run on the low μ road or when the motor vehicle is not currently turned.
2. The motor vehicle according to claim 1 ,
wherein when the motor vehicle runs on the low μ road and is currently turned, the control device sets the rear wheel distribution ratio such that a torque of the second motor becomes equal to or lower than an upper limit torque that is determined to be lower than a rated torque in at least a range of lower than a predetermined rotation speed of the second motor.
3. The motor vehicle according to claim 2 ,
wherein when the motor vehicle runs on the low μ road and is currently turned, in response to detection of a slip caused by idling of the front wheels, the control device sets the rear wheel distribution ratio such that the torque of the second motor becomes equal to or lower than the rated torque.
4. The motor vehicle according to claim 2 ,
wherein when the motor vehicle runs on the low μ road and is currently turned, the control device sets the rear wheel distribution ratio such that the torque of the second motor becomes equal to or lower than the rated torque at a road surface gradient that is less than a predetermined gradient, while setting the rear wheel distribution ratio such that the torque of the second motor becomes equal to or lower than the upper limit torque at the road surface gradient that is equal to or greater than the predetermined gradient.
5. The motor vehicle according to claim 2 ,
wherein the upper limit torque is set to decrease with an increase in road surface gradient.
