A method for controlling a hybrid vehicle, includes: acquiring a traveling parameter of the hybrid vehicle; controlling the engine, the driving motor, and the electric generator according to the traveling parameter, to enable the engine to operate in an economic zone by controlling charging and discharging of the power battery; comparing equivalent fuel consumptions of a series mode, a parallel mode, and an EV mode of the hybrid vehicle, and determining a minimum equivalent fuel consumption among the equivalent fuel consumptions; and selecting one of the series mode, the parallel mode, or the EV mode having the minimum equivalent fuel consumption as a current operation mode of the hybrid vehicle. The hybrid vehicle includes the engine and a driving motor outputting power to a wheel end, an electric generator generating electricity, and the power battery supplying electricity to the driving motor and charged by the electric generator or the driving motor.
