In general, in a four-wheel drive vehicle, when the front wheel side drive torque distribution is large, the vehicle tends to understeer and the straight running stability is improved, and when the rear wheel side drive torque distribution is large, the understeer tendency decreases and the steering speed decreases. It is conventionally known that the turning property of the front wheel is improved.Therefore, the front wheel side drive torque distribution is set to a large value such as the front / rear drive torque distribution ratio by the center differential device 17 to be, for example, 70:30. By controlling the drive torque distribution on the rear wheel side to increase based on the front wheel steering angle-drive torque distribution ratio characteristic using the vehicle speed as a parameter, both straight running stability and turning performance during steering are improved.

In a four-wheel drive vehicle in which the rear wheel steering control and the torque split control are performed as described above, even if the turning property is improved by reducing the understeer tendency by the torque split control during steering, depending on the vehicle speed, depending on the vehicle speed. By the steering control, the rear wheel is steered in the same direction as the front wheel (in-phase steering), that is, steered in the understeer direction, and both effects may cancel each other. In such a case, if the turning angle of the rear wheels in the understeer direction by the rear wheel steering control is significantly reduced, the above-described problem can be solved. However, if the vehicle is spinning at that time, the spin is prevented by the rear wheel steering. Since the effect is almost eliminated, there is a problem that the possibility of spin generation is increased.

A four-wheel drive vehicle equipped with a device for variably controlling drive torque to front and rear wheels based on a front wheel steering angle and a vehicle speed, wherein a rear wheel is steered in the same direction as a front wheel during front wheel steering. In a device equipped with a device for controlling the rear wheel steering angle, when the drive torque distribution on the rear wheel side during front wheel steering is large, a virtual lateral acceleration is calculated from the front wheel steering angle and the vehicle speed, and the lateral G is calculated. A difference between the actual lateral acceleration detected by the sensor and the virtual lateral acceleration is determined, and when the difference is equal to or less than a certain set value, the amount of steering of the rear wheel in the same direction as the front wheel is reduced. A method for controlling rear wheel steering of a four-wheel drive vehicle, comprising performing wheel steering control.
