2019 Bugatti Chiron

The 2019 Bugatti Chiron comes in a single trim level that packs everything the hypercar has to offer. The price of the Bugatti Chiron starts at $2,998,000 and the production of the Bugatti Chiron is limited to 500 units. The production numbers also include all the special cars that Bugatti will be launching. Bugatti Chiron does not come in trim levels which is the case with any hypercar with such a hefty price tag. However, there will be some special editions of the car that will make some changes in the weight or power of the standard Bugatti Chiron to unlock better performance. You can also see some track-oriented variants of the Bugatti Chiron with more aggressive driving dynamics. Bugatti gives you a plethora of customization options to make your Bugatti Chiron unique from all the other units out there. 

We recommend

The Bugatti Chiron does not come with standard packages and trim levels. So there is no scope for recommendations on that aspect. The Bugatti Chiron comes with a single-engine option that will power all 500 units of the Bugatti Chiron. The 2019 Bugatti Chiron comes with all the features that Bugatti Chiron has to offer as standard. You do not get many creature comforts or driver assistance technologies on the Bugatti Chiron as it is a hypercar. But you can customize your Bugatti Chiron based on your liking. 

The Bugatti Chiron gets its power from the same engine for all the iterations of the car. The 2019 Bugatti Chiron gets its power from an 8-liter turbocharged 16-cylinder engine. The engine produces a healthy power output of 1479 horsepower and 1180 lb-ft of torque. The engine comes mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission that sends power to all four wheels. The power is more than enough to power two supercars and still enough power will be left to power a small hatchback. The performance is the biggest strength of the Bugatti Chiron and it does not disappoint you on that front. The 0 to 60 mph sprint comes in an impressive 2.3 seconds while the quarter-mile run takes 9.1 seconds. The Bugatti Chiron is a true beast in terms of performance and it is capable of achieving speeds over 300 mph which was quite evident when it set the world record crossing the 304 mph mark. But the speed for the production unit is limited to 273 mph. 

The Bugatti Chiron still remains unbeatable when you look at the acceleration figures of all the cars in the competition. The Bugatti Chiron only takes 2.3 seconds to reach from 0 to 60 mph. It even beats the Koenigsegg Regera which uses three electric motors along with a 5-liter V8 engine to get the initial boost. Still, the Koenigsegg Regera takes 2.8 seconds to complete the 0 to 60 mph which is extremely fast but fails to beat the Bugatti Chiron. The Pagani Huayra Roadster BC also takes identical time to complete the 0 to 60 mph sprint as the Koenigsegg Regera. 

2019 Bugatti Chiron Ride and Handling

The Bugatti Chiron is a performance-oriented hypercar that packs humongous power under its hood. That power is meant to take the Bugatti Chiron to take off speeds pretty quick and it also manages to do that to a good level. All that performance requires equally important aerodynamics, ride, and handling. The Bugatti Chiron performs amazingly well in all these aspects. The Bugatti Chiron comes with an aerodynamic design that helps it achieve those crazy speeds and it also helps the car remain stable at such speeds. 

The flat-bottom steering wheel is extremely comfortable to hold and it offers excellent feel and feedback. You can confidently drive the Bugatti Chiron on windy roads as it does not feel unstable in the corners. The low center of gravity helps it remain grounded and there is no body roll even at triple-digit speeds while making the turns. The sports seats also hold you in place and provide good support. The best part of the Chiron’s suspension is that it does not feel uncomfortable like most other hypercars in the competition. 

2019 Bugatti Chiron Braking Performance

The Bugatti Chiron comes with a capable braking system that always keeps you confident in the braking performance of the car. The Bugatti Chiron gets a set of massive 16.5 inches brake rotors in the front and 15.7 inches brake rotors in the rear. The brakes are capable of bringing the Chiron to a complete stop from 60 mph in 103 feet. The braking distance increases to 159 feet when you increase the speed to 70 mph. But you can not expect the same braking distance every time as the road conditions also affect the braking distance. The feedback from the brake pedals is very good and you will enjoy the braking of the Bugatti Chiron on the roads and also on the tracks. 

The Bugatti Chiron is the heaviest car in the competition weighing over 4500 pounds. The braking performance of the Bugatti Chiron is quite impressive when you consider the weight of the car. With the massive size of the brake rotors combined with the drag that the rear wing produces, the Bugatti Chiron manages to achieve a great braking distance compared to its rivals. The Koenigsegg Regera weighs around 1000 pounds less than the Bugatti Chiron. However, the braking distance is not available for the same. The Pagani Huayra Roadster BC is even lighter but the data on brake rotors and stopping distance is not available for the Huayra Roadster BC either. 

The fuel efficiency is not the strength of the Bugatti Chiron. Actually, fuel efficiency is never the strength of any hypercar that packs so much power under its hood. The focus of a manufacturer building a performance car that costs close to 3 million dollars is always going to be on achieving the best possible performance and not excellent fuel efficiency figures. The 2019 Bugatti Chiron is powered by a massive 8-liter 16-cylinder engine. And such a massive engine obviously can not deliver great fuel efficiency. But just for your reference in ideal driving conditions, the Bugatti Chiron can return 8 mpg in the city, 11 mpg on the highway, and 9 mpg of combined fuel economy. It comes with a massive 22.5 gallons fuel tank capacity which helps it deliver a maximum highway driving range of 290 miles on the highway on a full tank. 

The Pagani Huayra Roadster BC comes with the best fuel economy figures in the competition. But still, none of the cars in the competition are known for being fuel efficient, and saying they are pocket friendly is only possible on a meme page. The Pagani Huayra BC can go a maximum of 293 miles on the highway on a full tank. The Koenigsegg Regera comes returns 11 mpg of fuel efficiency which is still better than the Bugatti Chiron. The focus of the hybrid engine of the Regera is on performance and not efficiency. The Bugatti Chiron takes the last spot in this department falling behind the competitors. 

Those who want a futuristic cabin with all the advanced technological features in the cabin should not look at the Bugatti Chiron. The 2019 Bugatti Chiron is a limited-production performance car that is going to stay with you for decades to come. That is the reason, Bugatti focuses on keeping things simple and elegant in the interior department. The sports seats for the driver and the passenger are very supportive and work pretty well for people of different shapes and sizes. Getting in and out of the cabin is not the easiest part but it is not too uncomfortable either. It uses premium luxury materials all around the cabin. The practicality is not the strength of the Bugatti Chiron’s cabin as the storage spaces are pretty limited. The cargo area is limited to 2 cubic feet. 

The Bugatti Chiron focuses on delivering a timeless design that does not start to look outdated a few years from now. And looking at the cabin, Bugatti has also succeeded in that department pretty well. The Bugatti Chiron comes with a beautiful and elegant interior style that uses luxurious and premium materials throughout the cabin. The same story continues for other cars in the cabin. The Pagani Huayra Roadster BC also focuses on making a timeless design for the interior of the car. The Koenigsegg Regera seems to have the most technologically advanced cabin in the competition. However, it is not very different from the rivals either. 

Standout interior features:

• Leather and Alcantara upholstery
• Carbon fiber accents
• Single aluminum center console
• Automatic climate control
• Flat-bottom steering wheel
• Head-up display

2019 Bugatti Chiron Infotainment System

The Bugatti Chiron is a performance-oriented vehicle that focuses on people who love driving. No one will buy a Bugatti Chiron to enjoy a drive in the car in the passenger seat. Luxury is not the prime focus of the Bugatti Chiron. As you read in the interior section the Bugatti Chiron comes with a timeless interior layout, Bugatti can not mess up the design with an infotainment screen. And the same is evident in the cabin of the car as you do not see any infotainment screen in the Bugatti Chiron. It only comes with a basic trip computer and some other basic infotainment features. It gets a premium sound system that offers crystal clear sound for music lovers. The connectivity options are also pretty basic to today’s standard. 

Standout infotainment features:

• AM/FM radio
• Media player
• Trip computer
• Bluetooth connectivity
• USB connectivity
• Premium sound system

There is a huge fan following of the Bugatti Chiron around the world among car enthusiasts. Even the people who barely know anything about hypercars know about the Bugatti Chiron. And the beautiful exterior styling of the Bugatti Chiron plays a crucial role in that. The aggressive stance of the Bugatti Chiron instantly turns your eyes as you take it out on the road. The quad-LED headlights at the front look nothing less than angry eyes like it is going to attack in a while. The legendary horseshoe-shaped grille at the front and the C-shaped design at the side of the car look quite attractive and also support its aggressive stance. The rear of the car looks equally beautiful with two twin exhausts and beautiful LED tail lights. 

The Bugatti Chiron is the largest car in the competition in overall dimensions. It is the longest and highest car in the competition. However, The Koenigsegg Regera is slightly wider than the Bugatti Chiron. The Pagani Huayra Roadster BC comes with the longest wheelbase in the competition. The Pagani Huayra comes with identical width when you keep it against the Bugatti Chiron but it is slightly narrower than the Koenigsegg Regera. The Koenigsegg Regera is the most compact car in the competition as it is smaller than its rivals in almost all areas except the width of the car. 

Standout exterior features:

• 20-inch wheels at the front and 21-inch wheels at the rear
• Iconic Bugatti horseshoe grille
• LED headlights
• Active rear spoiler
• C-shaped side design
• Carbon fiber body

The 2019 Bugatti Chiron is made of some of the most high-strength and lightweight materials available in the automotive industry. There is ample use of carbon fiber in the body of the car which helps it in being safe without being too heavy. The Bugatti Chiron is a pretty safe car and it does not require much proof for that. Those who are waiting for the crash-test ratings of the Bugatti Chiron will only be disappointed as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) are not going to crash a Bugatti Chiron worth 3 million dollars to check its safety scores. It does not get many advanced driver assistance technologies or advanced safety features either. But it gets most of the safety tech you expect from a hypercar. 

Safety features include:

• Carbon ceramic brakes
• Active rear wing
• Advanced airbags
• Seatbelt pre-tensioners
• Electronic stability control
• Rearview camera

2019 Bugatti Chiron vs. 2019 Koenigsegg Regera

The Koenigsegg Regera is one of the rarest hypercars in the competition that uses a hybrid powertrain in a car that is so powerful. The Koenigsegg Regera makes many technological advancements and also focuses on delivering the ultimate hypercar feel with a hybrid powertrain. The power figures are quite impressive for both of these cars if you forget about the nature of the powertrain. The Bugatti Chiron still remains unbeatable in the performance department and is also quicker than the two in the 0 to 60 mph run. The Bugatti Chiron on the other hand focuses on being a completely gasoline-powered hypercar with immense performance under its hood. You can pick either of the two based on which one looks more appealing to you. 

2019 Bugatti Chiron vs. 2019 Pagani Huayra Roadster BC

The 2019 Pagani Huayra Roadster BC is a special edition of the Pagani Huayra launched in 2019 only. The Pagani Huayra Roadster BC comes with more power under its hood compared to the standard Pagani Huayra and also reduces weight than the original car. As a result, there is also improvement in the performance of the car. Still, the Pagani Huayra Roadster BC can not beat the Bugatti Chiron in the 0 to 60 mph sprint. The top speed of the Bugatti Chiron is also a lot higher compared to the Huayra Roadster BC. Both these cars look exceptionally attractive from the outside and the interior feels quite lavish and beautiful for both these hypercars. The choice boils down to your preferences. 

The 2019 Bugatti Chiron is one of the most aspirational hypercars globally among car enthusiasts. The Bugatti Chiron grabbed a lot of attention when it broke the record for being the fastest production car in the world. Still, it remains among one of the fastest production cars in the world. The massive engine that powers the Bugatti Chiron is quite capable and in some other iterations of the Bugatti Chiron, the same engine also produces more power compared to the standard Bugatti Chiron. The performance is blazingly fast for the Bugatti Chiron and it can complete 0 to 60 mph in less than 2.5 seconds. The quarter-mile run also comes in less than 10 seconds which is quite impressive. The beautiful exterior styling still looks quite attractive and will remain like this for decades to come. The interior comes with many customization options and also comes with some of the most premium materials. The Bugatti Chiron is an excellent choice for those who have the budget and get one of the 500 units of the total Chiron produced.
