Exceptional agility thanks to Hypersquare® and Steer-by-Wire steering
With POLYGON CONCEPT, PEUGEOT’s Hypersquare® becomes a tangible reality, allowing drivers to discover the benefits and unique driving pleasure this new technology delivers.
For over a century, motorists have driven with the traditional circular steering wheel. Today, with Hypersquare®, PEUGEOT breaks the mould and reimagines the wheel entirely.
Hypersquare® is more than a new shape – it’s a new ergonomic approach to the PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® and a fully electronic control system for the vehicle.
It’s paired with Steer-by-Wire electronic steering technology – no mechanical link between the steering and the wheels, just pure electronic control. This technology, proven in the aerospace industry, will be available on a production PEUGEOT vehicle from 2027.
Beyond traditional power steering, the system innovates by adjusting steering ratio based on speed. At low speeds – for parking or turning around – Hypersquare® allows quick, easy manoeuvres without moving your hands or making multiple turns (with a maximum rotation of 170° in each direction – totalling just under a full turn – compared with three full turns with a traditional wheel).
At higher speeds, a small input of Hypersquare® is enough to adjust the car’s trajectory.
The combination of Hypersquare® and Steer-by-Wire delivers exceptional responsiveness and precision at high speed, unmatched comfort during manoeuvres, and a unique sense of hyper-agility.
Additionally, Steer-by-Wire technology provides the ideal road feedback, filtering out unwanted vibrations while still delivering beneficial feedback to help the driver understand road conditions.
ENHANCED DYNAMISM WITH A NEW IMMERSIVE PEUGEOT I-COCKPIT®
More high-tech than ever, this new interpretation of the PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® introduced in POLYGON CONCEPT puts innovation at the service of simplicity and driving pleasure.
The exclusive, revolutionary shape of the PEUGEOT Hypersquare® steering wheel reinvents cockpit ergonomics: key controls are accessible at your fingertips via four circular pods at each corner, allowing you to keep your hands on the steering control without lifting a finger.
With the PEUGEOT POLYGON CONCEPT, the windscreen becomes the screen. No more dashboard displays – all information reflects onto the windscreen via a Micro-LED panel located behind Hypersquare®.
This innovation offers a uniquely immersive experience for the driver, with an exceptional display size: 24 cm wide by 74 cm high – that’s the equivalent to a 31’’ screen.
