The PEUGEOT INCEPTION CONCEPT embodies the brand’s optimistic outlook on sustainable mobility. Initially revealed at CES in Las Vegas, it now makes its debut to the French public at VivaTech 2024.
This 100% electric concept car boasts 800 V technology and a 100 kWh battery, enabling an impressive 800 km range on a single charge. Inside, innovative materials and techniques underscore PEUGEOT’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint, aligning with the STELLANTIS goal of achieving full Carbon Net Zero by 2038.

This intuitive control interface allows drivers to manage vehicle parameters effortlessly, enhancing both safety and driving pleasure. Combined with a flexible display, known as the HALO CLUSTER, the Hypersquare provides a 360-degree view of driving and infotainment information, promoting a new era of shared mobility.
