The invention relates to the technical field of vehicles, in particular to a manual mode gear shifting control method and a vehicle. The manual mode gear shifting control method comprises the following steps that the vehicle runs at a manually-controlled M gear, the wheel speed nd of a driving wheel of the vehicle is obtained, and the wheel speed np of a driven wheel of the vehicle is obtained; a wheel speed difference value delta n is obtained through calculation, delta n=nd-np; whether the wheel speed difference value delta n is larger than a wheel difference threshold value delta nT or not is judged, if the wheel speed difference value delta n is larger than the wheel difference threshold value delta nT, a slip control strategy is executed, if the wheel speed difference value delta n is not larger than the wheel difference threshold value delta nT, whether the gradient value of vehicle running is larger than a set gradient threshold value within set time or not is judged, if the gradient value of vehicle running is larger than the set gradient threshold value within the set time, whether the number of changes of the running direction of the vehicle is larger than a set change threshold value or not is judged, if the number of changes of the running direction of the vehicle is larger than the set change threshold value, an automatic transmission forbids automatic upshift, and if the number of changes of the running direction of the vehicle is not larger than the set change threshold value, the automatic transmission is controlled according to the set gear shifting control strategy. When the vehicle is in the manual mode, both dynamic running and vehicle escape can be considered, and the performance of the whole vehicle is improved.
