With functioning ‘hypersquare’
Peugeot Announces that it will unveil a concept car Sometime in the coming week. Not so exciting, you might think, but this concept car previews both 208 successor and a new operating concept.
The Show Car Will Be Known As The Peugeot Polygon Concept And, Accordination to Peugeot, Previews ‘The B-Segment Car of the Future’. That suggests it’s a 208-like, because that popular peugeot will also have to be replaced someday. Opel Recently Showed an Extreme Look at the Future of Sister Model Corsa, So It is Apparently Allowed to Talk About That Future Within Stellantis.
The Peugeot Polygon is not Yet Visible, but we already know that Peugeot will build on the ‘Hypersquare’ concept presented in 2023 with this car. That ‘Hypersquare’ is a rectangular steering wheeling, which, thanks to its shape, forms an equal interaction with the idiosyncratic i-cockpit concept that peugeot has been used for almost all of its interiors. For Example, The Small Steering Wheel Offers a Wider View of the High-Mounted Instruments.
With a Regular Steering Ratio, Such A Small, Yoke-Like Steering Wheel is not a convenient at all, because they are very different. That is why peugeot is aiming for steer-by-wire technology with a very variable steering angle, as lexus also uses in the rz. The polygon concept does not only have the first version of this technology on paper, but also in practice. It can Therefore be tested in this car and we will undoubtedly hear how exactly that will work when the show model is unveiled.
