In a hybrid vehicle wherein the rotation torques of a motor and engine are input to a continuously variable transmission, a drive force is controlled by a microprocessor programmed to set a target drive power (t.sub.PO) based on a depression amount of an accelerator pedal (APO) and a vehicle speed (VSP), set a battery power (PB) based on a battery charge amount (SOC), set a target engine power (t.sub.PE) based on the target drive power (t.sub.PO) and the battery power (PB). The microprocessor is also programmed to set a limited target engine power (t.sub.PELMT) to zero when the target engine power (t.sub.PE) is less than a predetermined value, and set the limited target engine power (t.sub.PELMT) equal to the target engine power (t.sub.PE) when the target engine power (t.sub.PE) is larger than the predetermined value. The microprocessor is further programmed to set a target engine torque (t.sub.TE) and a target engine rotation speed (t.sub.NE) based on the limited target engine power (t.sub.PELMT), set the target motor/generator torque (t.sub.TMG) based on a target motor/generator power (t.sub.PMG) and the input rotation speed (NI), and set the target speed ratio (t.sub.RVO) based on the target engine rotation speed (NI) and the vehicle speed (VSP).
