Apparatus and Method for Controlling Vehicle Regenerative Torque of Variable Maximum Allowable Regenerative Torque Limit

An apparatus for controlling vehicle regenerative torque includes an information acquisition portion configured to obtain vehicle state information including a speed and a weight of a vehicle, and navigation information including weather condition information; a basic mode controller configured to enter a basic mode while the vehicle travels, to receive a variable maximum torque map determined based on information obtained by the information acquisition portion and to perform a basic mode control logic; and a safe mode controller configured to enter a safe mode when safe mode entry conditions are satisfied, and to receive a limited maximum allowable torque value determined based on information obtained by the information acquisition portion.
