With the Polygon concept, Peugeot unveils the technologies and style that will shape the next generation of its best-seller.
In the coming days, Peugeot will reveal the Polygon concept, a study outlining the future of the brand’s best-selling models. Six years after their market debut, the 208 and its larger SUV sibling, the 2008, are preparing to give way to a new generation. The Polygon serves as a prelude, condensing technologies and design approaches that will be reflected in the series.
A square steering wheel and faceted bodywork?
Among the key elements is the Hypersquare, a yoke-style steering wheel introduced by the Inception Concept in 2023. This unconventional control relies on steer-by-wire technology, which removes the mechanical link between the wheel and the wheels, allowing full software control. In addition to simplifying construction, this architecture opens new possibilities: ultra-responsive steering during dynamic driving or, conversely, amplified steering for easier urban maneuvers.

Alain Favey, Peugeot’s CEO, describes the Polygon as “a credible projection of what a B-segment car could become.” The design teams have worked on innovative solutions that will gradually be integrated into future widely accessible models. This concept continues the i-Cockpit philosophy, launched thirteen years ago with a small, low steering wheel and high instrumentation. Since then, this ergonomic signature has evolved, notably with the introduction of a large, curved 21-inch screen on the 3008 and 5008. The Polygon represents a new step, more focused on agility and digital driving experience.
