Peugeot Reveals Polygon Concept for Next 208 With Hypersquare Wheel and 31-Inch Windshield Display

A Fortnite reveal underscores a shift to immersive development.

Overview

  • Stellantis introduced the compact Polygon as a real preview of the next Peugeot 208, targeting a production model in 2027.
  • The square Hypersquare control works with Steer-by-Wire to remove the mechanical steering link, adapt response to speed, limit rotation to about 170° each way at low speeds, and filter unwanted vibrations.
  • A 31-inch Micro-LED projection turns the windshield into the primary display, replacing dashboard screens and enabling synchronized interior and exterior animations.
  • The concept emphasizes sustainability with 3D-printed seats made from recycled plastics, single-piece molded foam, fewer components, and easily replaceable parts.
  • The car debuted inside Fortnite’s Polygon City with Urban, Player, and Explorer configurations, while talk of future assembly in Argentina remains unconfirmed.
