Abstract

See full text

A driving control method of a hybrid vehicle is provided. The method includes when a specific zone related to discharge of exhaust gas is detected ahead on a path, determining whether a current state of charge (SoC) of a battery is greater than a first value. When the current SoC is greater than the first value, driving in a first mode for charging the battery in power of an engine in a first section disposed before entrance into the specific zone. Upon entering a second section corresponding to the specific zone, a current mode into a second mode for driving using power of a motor only is converted, battery consumption is reduced using at least one step along with a change in the current SoC in the second section.
