Dependent on the STLA Significant platform, the thoroughly electric Inception Thought is a 5 meter prolonged sedan with a low (1.34m) silhouette, driven by a 100kWh battery giving a selection of 497 miles.
The drivetrain capabilities two electric powered motors, developing practically 680hp and accelerates from -62mph in below three seconds.

Style
The Peugeot Inception Strategy introduces a new, more simple and more refined structure language for the brand name, which will be released on future types from 2025.
At the front, it attributes an all-new mild signature incorporating Peugeot’s distinct claw layout, which is merged with the entrance grille to develop a solitary object that also properties the sensors. This is created up of a one piece of glass with the emblem in the centre, magnified by the 3D luminescent impact.
A Tech Bar operates horizontally via the door layer. This flush monitor emits different messages to the outside the house of the automobile when the driver and passengers solution it.
The artificial intelligence equipped on the Inception Principle will make it achievable to recognise the driver in order to established up the consolation options (seat posture, temperature, driving manner and multimedia tastes) desired by every single occupant. In addition, the Tech Bar also shows the battery cost stage and properties many sensors and radars, leaving the bodywork totally sleek.
The automobile incorporates 7.25m2 of glazing to develop a glass capsule for the passenger compartment that plunges to the driver and entrance passenger’s ft.
All the glazing (windscreen, side windows and quarter home windows) is made from glass created for architecture, which retains its thermal attributes and benefits from a multi-chrome therapy (therapy with metallic oxides), a system at first utilised for the visors of astronauts’ helmets by NASA.
Completing the car’s exclusive design and style is an distinctive human body colour, which highlights the styles in the bodywork and interacts, like the glazing, by tinting in accordance to the exterior environment. The paint is solitary-coated, this means much significantly less electrical power is consumed in the course of its software.
Inside Design
The Peugeot Inception Principle characteristics a negligible cockpit committed to the driver by yourself, which does without a dashboard, crossbar and the bulkhead, furnishing a completely open up view of the highway.
Sustainable ‘moulded textiles’ are also used during the inside. Scraps of 100% polyester cloth from the style and design centre’s prototyping workshops or from suppliers are re-utilized to make load-bearing or trim components.
The seats are covered with a velvet made from 100% recycled polyester, which extends onto the ground and functions 3D patterns to act as a floor mat.
Future-era i-Cockpit®
With its new Hypersquare control procedure, the Inception Concept presents an agile driving experience and an all-new, much more intuitive i-Cockpit®. Influenced by video video games, the Hypersquare handle technique does away with the traditional steering wheel in favour of digital electrical controls and steer-by-wire technological innovation.
The centre of the Hypersquare is a pill-sort display devoted to the distribution of control info. The pictograms for the diverse options (air conditioning, radio volume, ADAS and so on.) are shown on the two facet panels to facilitate access to the chosen manage. The latter is situated inside the round recesses and can be accessed by shifting the thumb only, without taking your arms off the steering handle.
The following generation i-Cockpit also involves the Stellantis STLA SmartCockpit technology system and STLA AutoDrive, enabling Degree 4 autonomous driving. When driving is delegated, Hypersquare retracts and a large panoramic screen slides out from the ground to supply a new passenger compartment working experience.
Peugeot’s aim is to introduce the Hypersquare on a following technology car in the assortment in advance of the finish of the 10 years.
Know-how
‘BEV-by-design’ system
The Inception Thought is centered on the STLA Massive platform, a person of four upcoming Stellantis Group “BEV-by-design” platforms. The arrival of this new array of platforms from 2023 will revolutionise the PEUGEOTs of tomorrow. Specifically made for electrification, they give main distinctions in phrases of architecture which enabled designers to entirely reshape the passenger compartment.
The new “BEV-by-design” native electric powered platforms will also introduce technological modules powered by synthetic intelligence: STLA Mind, STLA SmartCockpit and STLA AutoDrive. Like the Inception Principle, long run Peugeot versions will be outfitted with STLA Brain artificial intelligence and will be completely linked.
Powertrain
The 100% electric powered Inception Strategy is geared up with 800V technology. Its 100kWh battery permits it to vacation 497 miles on a single demand, with incredibly reduced use of just 12.5kWh for each 100 km. The Inception Principle is able of incorporating 19 miles of range in one particular moment, or 93 miles in 5 minutes, and can also be recharged wirelessly by induction.
Two compact electric motors, one particular at the front, the other at the rear, provide a mixed power close to 680hp (500kW), enabling it to speed up from -62mph in beneath 3 seconds.
Electrification technique
The Inception Strategy is a showcase of the new procedures Peugeot will introduce to lessen its carbon footprint by additional than 50% by 2030 in Europe and to turn out to be absolutely Carbon Net Zero by 2038.
Over the following two decades, Peugeot will start 5 new 100% electric types and by 2030, all PEUGEOT automobiles bought in Europe will be electric.
