Peugeot reinvents driving with its new Hypersquare steering wheel.

At first glance, it looks surprising: the familiar round shape is replaced by a rectangular steering wheel with a futuristic look. A customizable design object based on steer-by-wire technology, the Hypersquare does away with the physical steering column. 

Digital electric controls replace the mechanical links, inducing new gestures and a natural grip. Driving becomes even more fun, instinctive and intuitive.

The Hypersquare, reminiscent to some of a video game controller, will be fitted to a production vehicle as early as 2026.

We went to the VivaTech 2024 trade show to gather visitors' first impressions of this steering wheel of the future.
