Overview
- Peugeot’s sub‑4‑metre Polygon concept debuts the rectangular Hypersquare control with electronic steer‑by‑wire that removes the mechanical link to the wheels.
- The system uses a speed‑dependent ratio with a maximum 170° rotation each way, targeting quick low‑speed maneuvers and precise high‑speed responses.
- Instrumentation is projected onto the windscreen via a Micro‑LED panel that creates an equivalent 31‑inch display in the driver’s line of sight.
- The concept emphasizes sustainability with fewer parts and recycled or replaceable elements, including tyre‑derived paint components, a forged textile from old Peugeot seats, and recycled‑plastic wheel covers.
- Peugeot says these innovations will reach production from 2027, with reports linking the next 208 to Stellantis’s STLA Small platform and suggesting an EV‑only direction, which the company has not confirmed.
