Paris Motor Show 2026: Peugeot RCZ Vision concept revealed with Hypersquare steering wheel and solid-state battery

Stellantis has unveiled the new Peugeot RCZ Vision concept at an event held ahead of the 2026 Paris Motor Show.

The all-electric concept introduces Peugeot's latest Feline Future design language and a new-generation i-Cockpit interior. It also features a 1,000V electrical architecture.

Exterior

The RCZ Vision retains some of the original coupé's most recognisable design features, while introducing a new look for Peugeot.

At the front, three horizontal LED light bars reinterpret Peugeot's familiar three-claw lighting signature. Slim headlights sit above them, while an illuminated Peugeot badge takes centre stage.

The front grille also features micro-sculpted patterns exclusive to the RCZ.

At the rear, the three-bar lighting design is repeated in the taillights, accompanied by an active rear spoiler.

The concept also brings back the original RCZ's distinctive double-bubble roof, clearly visible in the official images.

Interior and Technology

Inside, the RCZ Vision features Peugeot's latest i-Cockpit layout, complete with a rectangular Hypersquare steering wheel, a transparent Micro LED display and a floating central touchscreen.

The Hypersquare steering wheel uses steer-by-wire technology, removing the mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the road wheels. This allows the steering ratio to change according to vehicle speed.

The technology is expected to make its production debut in the next-generation Peugeot E-208. The RCZ Vision also features Level 2++ driver assistance technology.

Powertrain

The Peugeot RCZ Vision is built on the STLA One modular platform, using a 1,000V electrical architecture and a solid-state battery. Combined output is rated at 507 hp, with a claimed driving range of up to 600 km.

Thanks to its 1,000V fast-charging system, the battery can reportedly be charged from 10% to 80% in just 10 minutes.

The concept is also equipped with brake-by-wire technology, replacing the conventional mechanical or hydraulic connection between the brake pedal and braking system with electronic controls.
