When acceleration control is interrupted due to a lane change or the like, the engine speed is controlled from a high rotation speed to a low rotation speed, a variation in engine speed increases, and poor driver's driving performance is brought about. Furthermore, suppression of acceleration when there is a lane change possibility may rather cause the lane change and the driver feels discomfort. The vehicle control unit according to the present invention includes a target engine speed calculation unit which corrects a target engine speed to be reduced relative to a predetermined target engine speed when the acceleration/deceleration possibility determination unit determines that there is a deceleration possibility during acceleration to a target vehicle speed in automatic acceleration/deceleration control, and an engine control unit which controls an engine to have a target engine speed corrected by the target engine speed calculation unit.
