PEUGEOT Unveils the INCEPTION CONCEPT Featuring Steer-by-Wire Technology

PEUGEOT has unveiled the INCEPTION CONCEPT, featuring the next-generation PEUGEOT i-Cockpit and Hypersquare control system with steer-by-wire technology. The fully electric model is powered by a 100kWh battery providing a range of 497 miles.

With two electric motors, the INCEPTION CONCEPT produces almost 680hp and accelerates from 0-62mph in under three seconds.

The model also features 800V technology, enabling it to add 93 miles of range in just five minutes, and is capable of wireless induction charging.

The next generation i-Cockpit also includes the Stellantis STLA SmartCockpit technology platform and STLA AutoDrive, enabling Level 4 autonomous driving.

When driving is autonmous, Hypersquare retracts and a large panoramic screen slides out from the floor to offer a new passenger compartment experience.

PEUGEOT's goal is to introduce the Hypersquare on a next generation vehicle in the range before the end of the decade.

Linda Jackson, CEO of the PEUGEOT brand, says: “PEUGEOT is committed to the electrification of its range. In 2023, our entire line-up will be electrified and in the next two years, five new 100% electric models will be launched. Our ambition is simple: to make PEUGEOT the leading electric brand in Europe by 2030. This objective and ambitious vision pave the way for a radical transformation for the brand, as represented by the INCEPTION CONCEPT.”

Present in more than 160 countries with 10,000 retailers, PEUGEOT sold nearly 1,200,000 vehicles worldwide in 2020.
