Peugeot is never shy about experimenting, but the new Peugeot Polygon Concept feels less like a wild design study and more like a realistic preview of what we’ll be driving later this decade. Revealed in late 2025, Polygon is a compact electric concept car (under 4 meters long) that showcases Peugeot’s next chapter in steering, cockpit design, customization, and sustainability, with technologies expected to enter production models from 2027 onward.
What makes this debut even more “future-facing” is where it started: Peugeot first introduced Polygon inside Fortnite’s Polygon City Island before unveiling it to the public an intentional move to connect with a younger, digital-native audience and hint at how cars will blend with virtual ecosystems.
The headline innovation is Peugeot’s Hypersquare® steering control a squared, gaming-inspired steering unit that replaces the traditional circular wheel. Hypersquare works with Steer-by-Wire technology, meaning there’s no mechanical link between the steering control and the wheels. Instead, your inputs are converted electronically into steering movement.
Peugeot positions Hypersquare as a production-bound innovation, with road cars expected to adopt it starting in 2027.
Inside Polygon, Peugeot rethinks the cockpit around the Hypersquare system. The result is a minimal, driver-focused next-generation i-Cockpit®, with almost no traditional dashboard. Instead, a Micro-LED display projects all driving information onto the windshield, forming a 31-inch-equivalent virtual screen directly in the driver’s line of sight.
Polygon offers three distinct driving environments:
The Hypersquare itself integrates four corner pods for key controls, keeping the driver’s hands in place rather than constantly reaching for buttons.
At just under 4 meters long, Polygon sits in the same urban-friendly footprint as Peugeot’s small hatchbacks, and multiple outlets suggest it previews design cues of the next-generation Peugeot 208 EV family.
It’s futuristic, but not random Polygon looks like a design language Peugeot could genuinely evolve into production.
Peugeot describes Polygon as a vehicle that can be refreshed and reconfigured almost endlessly. Rather than locking owners into one aesthetic, Polygon is built around modularity inside and out.
Peugeot even previewed three themed versions:
Polygon doesn’t treat sustainability as a marketing sticker; it’s engineered into the car’s materials, structure, and even the way it’s built. Nearly every visible surface is made from recycled or recyclable content, with the cabin wrapped in an innovative forged textile created from deconstructed Peugeot seats, and interior lacquer that incorporates material recovered from end-of-life tires. The seats themselves are a showcase of circular manufacturing: their shells are produced through large-scale 3D printing using recycled PET, paired with single-piece molded foam that reduces both weight and part count. Peugeot also simplifies the body to cut complexity and resource use, replacing four conventional doors with two XXL butterfly doors and designing components like wheel covers, trim pieces, and even seat foam to be modular and easily replaceable. The philosophy is future-proof ownership: instead of replacing the whole vehicle, drivers can refresh or reconfigure key elements in minutes, extending the car’s lifespan and reducing waste over time.
Most concept cars are dramatic posters for a brand’s imagination. Polygon is closer to a functional testbed aimed at real-world rollout. Peugeot is using it to validate innovations like Hypersquare steering, steer-by-wire dynamics, Micro-LED projection displays, and modular sustainable construction technologies that align with where EV design is heading globally. In other words, Polygon isn’t a one-off fantasy. It’s Peugeot telling the market, “this is the direction we’re committed to.”
The Peugeot Polygon Concept is a sharp glimpse into what driving could feel like after 2027: more intuitive, more immersive, more personal and far more sustainable. From the radical Hypersquare steering to the windshield-based i-Cockpit and modular design philosophy, Polygon shows that the future of mobility doesn’t have to be sterile or boring. If Peugeot delivers even half of this concept’s ideas into production, the next generation of small EVs could be among the most engaging and forward-thinking vehicles on the road.
