Peugeot Unveils Polygon Concept in Paris, Previewing 2027-Bound Technologies

The compact study centers on a steer-by-wire control interface with windshield-wide projection to trial a modular, updatable EV architecture.

Overview

  • CEO Alain Favey presented Polygon as a compact “dynamic laboratory” whose ideas are slated to reach production models starting in 2027.
  • The Hypersquare steering interface uses steer‑by‑wire to remove the mechanical column, varies ratio by speed to about 170 degrees for low‑speed maneuvers, and integrates touch controls.
  • Conventional instrument panels and center screens are replaced by a large Micro‑LED projection onto the windshield, roughly equivalent to a 31‑inch display to keep key data in the driver’s line of sight.
  • The project highlights modular components, over‑the‑air updates, fewer parts and recycled materials, including large‑scale 3D‑printed R‑PET seat shells.
  • Peugeot shared no technical specifications, but imagery shows a charging port and the concept aligns with the STLA Small platform and the next‑generation 208 after an initial digital reveal inside Fortnite.
