This invention relates to a control device for a vehicular power transmitting device. The control device has shifting-point altering means 108 operative such that when a second electric motor M2 is operated with priority to obtain a charging efficiency and/or electric power generating efficiency, a shifting point for a vehicle to run under a decelerating state (during a coast running state) is altered to a point on a higher vehicle speed than that at which a shifting point for a running-performance-conscious state is set. Therefore, when the second electric motor M2 is operated with priority for generating electric power, a downshift is initiated at a high vehicle speed than that at which the downshift is initiated at a shifting point for a running-performance-conscious state. This increases a rotation speed N_M2 of the second electric motor M2, resulting in an increase in regeneration amount (electric power generation amount) of the second electric motor M2.
