Abstract

The present invention achieves both convenience and improvement in feedback with respect to a travel mode. This vehicle is provided with a display control unit 14b that switches, according to a selected travel mode, between a power display state for displaying power used for travel and a virtual tachometer display state for displaying a virtual engine speed calculated from vehicle information. The display control unit 14b displays additional information D1 when a predetermined travel mode is selected, and changes a display position of the additional information D1 according to whether or not to display interruption information D2.
