- Peugeot’s Polygon Concept debuts the Hypersquare control and steer-by-wire system for 2027.
- The sub-4-metre EV concept integrates a 31-inch micro-LED windscreen display and next-gen i-Cockpit.
- Sustainable design features include 3D-printed recycled plastics and forged textile cabin materials.
Peugeot has unveiled the Polygon Concept, a pint-sized yet big-thinking electric showpiece that aims to reshape (literally) the way we drive.
Measuring under four metres long, the concept packs the brand’s latest ideas in agility, sustainability and digital immersion into one compact cube of curiosity.
At its heart lies Hypersquare, a square-shaped control system paired with steer-by-wire tech that swaps mechanical linkages for electronics.
Gone are the three turns lock-to-lock, as Hypersquare needs less than one. Peugeot says the system delivers “exceptional responsiveness and precision at high speed, unmatched comfort during manoeuvring and a unique feeling of hyper-agility.”
Production models with this tech are promised from 2027.
The screen becomes the scene
Inside, Peugeot’s trademark i-Cockpit evolves into a minimalist command hub. The windscreen doubles as a 31-inch micro-LED display, projecting everything from driving data to ambient visuals.
Depending on mode (Cruise, Fun, or Hyper), the lighting and animations sync inside and out for a theatrical, safety-minded experience. Four fingertip pods on the Hypersquare keep controls close and the driver’s hands put.
Passengers benefit from the clutter-free dash and extra space, complete with modular holders for essentials like phones or even skateboards. Overhead, a panoramic glass canopy replaces the B-pillar, flooding the cabin with light.
Shape-shifting personality
True to its name, Polygon isn’t just one face but many. The concept can morph between Urban, Player and Explorer configurations, each with distinct styling cues, all recently showcased on Polygon City, Peugeot’s custom island within Fortnite.
Even the tyres join the act: Goodyear’s laser-engraved, colour-matched designs and SightLine sensors feed live data on grip and pressure to the cockpit.
Sustainable by design
Beyond the flash, the Polygon Concept underscores Peugeot’s circular-economy push. The interior uses forged textile made from recycled car seats, while 3D-printed R-PET shells and single-piece foam from partners Nagami and Sixinch cut weight and simplify recycling.
With fewer parts, two huge butterfly doors and easily swappable components, from seat foam to steering controls, Peugeot wants each Polygon to evolve with its owner.
In essence, Peugeot hasn’t just reimagined the wheel - it’s redrawn the blueprint for how fun, form and future can coexist on four.
