A drive apparatus for a hybrid vehicle is provided with a motor, a clutch that transmits and cuts off a driving force between the motor and an engine, and a control device that performs an operation control for the motor and the clutch. If there is an engine start request during driving of a wheel by the motor, the control device increases an operating pressure of the clutch to start the transmission of torque from the motor to the engine side, and detects a transmission torque to be transmitted via the clutch. The control device also performs a control that sets an output torque of the motor as equal to a torque that is the sum of the transmission torque and a request torque for wheel driving, which is determined based upon an accelerator opening.
