Provided is a vehicle drive system capable of suppressing a feeling of acceleration drop and free running, thereby improving vehicle riding comfort. The vehicle drive system includes: an internal combustion engine for driving a primary drive wheel; a stepped variable transmission; an assist motor for driving a secondary drive wheel; and a motor control device for controlling the assist motor, wherein the stepped variable transmission is a seamless-shift transmission configured such that a drive force to be transmitted therethrough is interrupted during shifting down, but not substantially interrupted during shifting up, and the motor control device is operable, during the shifting down by the stepped variable transmission, to cause the assist motor to generate a drive force to compensate for the interruption of the drive force.
