The PEUGEOT Polygon Concept is a compact vision statement that translates the brand’s future-facing design language into something intentionally agile, fun, and “future proof.” Visually, it leans into a bold French identity with PEUGEOT’s iconic three-claw light signature, XXL butterfly doors for dramatic cabin access, and Micro-LED screens integrated at the front and rear. Inside, the concept pushes openness and comfort by rethinking architecture—most notably via a redesigned cross beam that frees up space for the front passenger. The windscreen is also pushed forward and downward, creating a brighter, more expansive feel that makes the cabin seem less like a cockpit box and more like a light-filled lounge.
At the center of the experience is “endless” personalisation and customisation, with an emphasis on parts that can be replaced in minutes and components designed to be interchangeable (including items like wheels, the Hypersquare control, dashboard elements, and seat-related modules). The concept also treats everyday EV moments as part of the design brief: a dedicated side-mounted Micro-LED display lets you check charge level without climbing into the vehicle. Seating blends style with production experimentation, using a 3D-printed shell and single-piece moulded foam to achieve geometric forms without sacrificing comfort. Altogether, the Polygon reads like a platform built for owners who want their car to evolve—visually and functionally—rather than stay fixed from day one.
Where Polygon really aims to disrupt is in its control and display technology. The new-generation PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® centers on Hypersquare®, a rectangular steering control that replaces traditional wheel ergonomics with four circular “pods” at the corners, putting key controls at your fingertips while keeping hands planted. Paired with Steer-by-Wire, steering becomes entirely electronic—with no physical connection between steering and wheels and no steering column—a method PEUGEOT frames as aerospace-proven, tuned for easy low-speed manoeuvres (up to 170° maximum rotation without hand-over-hand shuffling) and instant, precise response at higher speeds while filtering unwanted vibrations. Information delivery is reimagined too, with a Micro-LED display projecting onto the windscreen, while the build philosophy targets a sustainable, circular economy: more recycled materials (including tyre-based exterior paint, R‑PET recycled plastic for seat shells, and forged textile made from recycled seat fabrics from deconstructed PEUGEOT vehicles), fewer parts, minimal component thinking (single-material seats, 3D-printed rim covers, laser-engraved tyres), and weight optimisation using elements like carbon-fibre doors. And because future enthusiasts don’t just meet cars on roads anymore, PEUGEOT even extends the concept into gaming via PEUGEOT Polygon City in Fortnite—an island created with Gameloft in collaboration with the PEUGEOT Design team—so fans can explore the vision in a digital world as well.
