HOW THE PEUGEOT POLYGON CONCEPT RETHINKS MATERIALS, PARTS, AND PERSONALISATION
The Peugeot Polygon Concept is a drivable prototype measuring under four metres, unveiled in November 2025 as a direct preview of the technology and design language Peugeot will deploy in production models from 2027 onward. It is compact, agile, and unapologetically French: the three-claw light signature, XXL butterfly doors, and Micro-LED screens at front and rear all point to a brand asserting a clear visual identity. Inside, a redesigned cross beam frees up space for the front passenger, and the windscreen has been pushed forward and downward to turn the cabin into a light-filled environment rather than a conventional enclosed cockpit.
What Is the Peugeot Polygon Concept?
According to the official Stellantis press release, the Polygon is designed as a platform that evolves with its owner. Components including wheels, dashboard elements, seat modules, and the Hypersquare steering control can be replaced in minutes. A dedicated side-mounted Micro-LED display allows the driver to check charge status without entering the vehicle. Seats use a 3D-printed shell and single-piece moulded foam to achieve clean geometric forms while maintaining comfort.
Hypersquare and Steer-by-Wire: How Does It Drive?
The central technology on the Polygon is Hypersquare, a rectangular steering control with four circular pods at each corner that keep all key inputs within reach without hand movement. Paired with Steer-by-Wire, there is no mechanical link between the control and the front wheels, and no steering column at all. At low speed, the system allows full manoeuvres within 170 degrees of rotation in each direction, avoiding the multiple turns required with a conventional wheel. At higher speeds, steering response is immediate and road vibrations are filtered out entirely.
All information is projected onto the windscreen via a Micro-LED panel behind the Hypersquare, creating a display equivalent in size to a 31-inch screen without any dashboard intrusion. Carwow's hands-on assessment at Carwow found the system intuitive in practice.
Sustainability and Materials
The build philosophy targets a circular economy. Exterior paint incorporates materials from recycled tyres. Seat shells are formed from R-PET recycled plastic and covered in forged textile woven from deconstructed Peugeot vehicle seat fabric. Laser-engraved Goodyear tyres with coloured sidewalls extend personalisation to the rolling stock. Carbon-fibre doors reduce weight while maintaining structural rigidity.
The Polygon also extends into gaming: Peugeot Polygon City in Fortnite, created with Gameloft and the Peugeot Design team, lets players explore the concept in a digital environment ahead of its real-world production arrival.
Explore Electric Concept Cars at TheArsenale
The Polygon sits in a growing class of design-forward electric concept vehicles redefining what a city car can be. At TheArsenale, explore similarly progressive electric vehicles including the Duo by TheArsenale Electric Microcar and the Apex AP-0 Electric Sports Car. The full range of electric and concept vehicles is available in the TheArsenale vehicle collection.
