PARIS: The Polygon Concept embodies Peugeot’s vision for the future, as a dynamic, compact concept car (under four metres).
With the Polygon Concept, Peugeot offers endless possibilities for personalisation and customisation.
It signals a responsible future with more recycled materials, fewer parts, interchangeable components, and new efficient manufacturing methods.
Also, Hypersquare steering control is paired with Steer-by-Wire electronic steering technology – no mechanical link between the steering and the wheels, just pure electronic control.
This technology, proven in the aerospace industry, will be available on a production Peugeot vehicle from 2027.
Beyond traditional power steering, the system innovates by adjusting steering ratio based on speed.
At low speeds – for parking or turning around – Hypersquare allows quick, easy manoeuvres without moving your hands or making multiple turns (with a maximum rotation of 170-degree in each direction - totalling just under a full turn - compared with three full turns with a traditional wheel).
At higher speeds, a small input of Hypersquare is enough to adjust the car’s trajectory.
The combination of Hypersquare and Steer-by-Wire delivers exceptional responsiveness and precision at high speed, unmatched comfort during manoeuvres, and a unique sense of hyper-agility.
Additionally, Steer-by-Wire technology provides the ideal road feedback, filtering out unwanted vibrations while still delivering beneficial feedback to help the driver understand road conditions.
Also, the Peugeot Hypersquare steering wheel reinvents cockpit ergonomics: key controls are accessible at your fingertips via four circular pods at each corner, allowing you to keep your hands on the steering control without lifting a finger.
With the Polygon Concept, the windscreen becomes the screen.
No more dashboard displays – all information reflects onto the windscreen via a Micro-LED panel located behind Hypersquare.
This innovation offers a uniquely immersive experience for the driver, with an exceptional display size: 24cm wide by 74cm high.
Micro-LEDs also shape the front end. The brand’s iconic three-claw light signature is reimagined in a horizontal layout.
Formed from a multitude of Micro-LED screens, whilst stationary this new light signature animates at the front and rear with various graphic and colour configurations, inspired by immersive visual and audio displays.
The space available to front passengers is further enhanced by a customisable dashboard layout.
The innovative seat design of the Polygon Concept combines a 3D-printed shell with single-piece moulded foam.
Meanwhile, Peugeot’s partner Goodyear, has combined coloured sidewalls with cutting-edge laser engraving to enable bespoke customisation, creating a unique and unexpected styling effect, with different colours to match different configurations.
The Polygon Concept's Goodyear tyres are also equipped with advanced SightLine intelligent tyre technology.
