Who is Koenigsegg?
Koenigsegg is a Swedish car maker known for building very high-performance sports cars in small numbers. Founded by Christian von Koenigsegg, it remains an independent company rather than a marque within a larger automotive group. Its cars are developed and built in Sweden, with a focus on distinctive engineering and lightweight construction.
These are specialist cars for drivers drawn to focused performance and unusual technology. They sit at the extreme end of the road-car world: more bespoke and less commonplace than an ordinary sports car, with each model representing a clear statement of the company’s approach.
Agera and Regera
The Agera is the earlier of the two model lines listed here, appearing in official United States EPA figures for 2018. It represents Koenigsegg’s established high-performance direction: a dramatic, two-seat sports car built around a powerful combustion engine and a lightweight structure.
The Regera follows in the figures for 2019 and 2020. Koenigsegg describes it as a grand touring model, pairing a combustion engine with electric motors in a hybrid powertrain. Its direct-drive system is a notable departure from the conventional multi-gear approach. That combination gives the Regera a different character within the range: still an exceptionally focused performance car, but conceived with long-distance comfort in mind as well.
How did the range develop?
Across the years shown, the range moves from the Agera to the Regera. The shift is more than a change of model name: the Regera brings electrification into Koenigsegg’s performance-car story and introduces a different way of delivering power to the road. The Agera represents the earlier line; the Regera broadens the company’s offering with a hybrid grand tourer.
The two lines appear in separate years in official EPA figures, so the model history here is a short sequence rather than a long run of overlapping entries. Together, they show a maker exploring different expressions of a high-performance road car while retaining a distinctive, low-volume identity.
Where are Koenigsegg cars listed?
For the years covered here, Koenigsegg appears in official United States EPA figures. That means the figures discussed on this page are for the US market. The EPA uses its own fuel-economy test procedure; European WLTP and older NEDC figures, as well as Canada’s 5-cycle ratings, are produced under different procedures and should not be treated as directly interchangeable.
The Agera appears for 2018, while the Regera appears for 2019 and 2020. Both are rare specialist cars, so their presence in official figures offers a useful reference point for readers looking into these models, whether they are considering ownership or simply curious about how the range evolved.
Questions and answers
Which Koenigsegg models appear in the US EPA figures?
The Agera appears for 2018, and the Regera for 2019 and 2020.
Is the Koenigsegg Regera electrified?
Yes. The Regera uses a hybrid powertrain that combines a combustion engine with electric motors.
Where is Koenigsegg based?
Koenigsegg is a Swedish car maker and independent company.
Can EPA figures be compared directly with European or Canadian ratings?
Not directly. The EPA, European WLTP or NEDC procedures, and Canada’s 5-cycle test differ, so their results are not like-for-like.
