What is the Koenigsegg Regera?
The Regera is a Swedish hybrid hypercar with a grand touring character. Koenigsegg designed it to pair its high-performance powertrain with comfort-focused equipment. Its low body and engine-behind-the-cabin layout give it the familiar shape of a Koenigsegg road car, while electric motors assist its petrol engine.
Christian von Koenigsegg launched the Swedish carmaker in 1994. The Regera’s defining technology is Koenigsegg Direct Drive, which sends power from the engine to the rear axle without a conventional multi-ratio gearbox.
Regera generation and powertrain
The Regera generation runs from 2019 to 2022. Its hybrid powertrain combines a 5.0-litre petrol engine with electric assistance. Koenigsegg describes the engine as a twin-turbo V8 and the Regera as a grand touring model within its range.
Koenigsegg Direct Drive is central to the Regera’s character. It replaces the usual multi-ratio transmission with a direct-drive system, while electric motors work alongside the petrol engine.
How economical is the Koenigsegg Regera?
In the United States, the EPA listing covers the Regera in 2019 and 2020. Its combined rating is 11 MPG, or 21.4 L/100 km. EPA tests use a different procedure from European WLTP and NEDC tests and Canada’s 5-cycle test, so ratings from those markets are not directly comparable.
Real-world fuel use depends on driving conditions and how the car is driven.
