Peugeot Unveils Polygon Concept With Hypersquare Steer-by-Wire Set for 2027

Peugeot targets a 2027 rollout of its electronic steering control, positioning Polygon as a testbed for upcoming small electric models.

Overview

  • The concept debuts a rectangular Hypersquare controller using steer-by-wire with a speed‑dependent ratio and up to 170° rotation each way.
  • A micro‑LED panel projects instruments across the windscreen, creating an approximately 31‑inch display in the driver’s eyeline.
  • Recycled materials, 3D‑printed parts and simplified, modular components aim to reduce part counts and ease assembly and disassembly.
  • Under four metres long, the car features XXL gullwing doors and easily swappable elements, previewing a compact, configurable hatchback.
  • Peugeot’s Alain Favey says Hypersquare will feature in a Peugeot in 2027 with an option for a conventional column, while reports suggest the tech could inform the next 208 on Stellantis’s STLA Small platform.
