An apparatus and a method for controlling a vehicle calculate a distance from a following vehicle and a relative speed of the following vehicle, if the following vehicle is detected on the rear side of a host vehicle based on detection information received from a detection module detecting an object around the host vehicle, determine a probability of a potential collision of the following vehicle with the host vehicle based on the distance from the following vehicle and the relative speed of the following vehicle, and accelerate or decelerate a traveling speed of the host vehicle, or adjust brake torque of the host vehicle, if the potential collision of the following vehicle with the host vehicle is predicted. When a probability of a potential collision with the following vehicle is predicted, injuries to a driver and occupants can be prevented or reduced.
