A vehicle includes a controller configured to switch between a constant speed traveling mode in which a vehicle speed is held constant and an inertial traveling mode in which a prime mover is stopped or in an idling state, and a clutch apparatus configured to connect and disconnect power transmission between the prime mover and an output target, and the controller controls the clutch apparatus and decreases a clutch capacity so as to transit to the inertial traveling mode when detected that the vehicle is traveling on a downhill road during the constant speed traveling mode, and the controller controls the clutch apparatus and increases the clutch capacity so as to transit to the constant speed traveling mode when detected that the vehicle traveling on the downhill road has terminated.
