Peugeot RCZ Vision Debuts at Paris 2026: 500-HP Electric Coupe

Peugeot unveiled the RCZ Vision concept at the 2026 Paris Motor Show — an electric coupe producing 500 horsepower with a range of 600 kilometers. The model revives the iconic RCZ nameplate with an entirely new French design language.

Feline Future Design Revives the RCZ Legacy

The car is a direct extension of the RCZ coupe that Peugeot produced between 2009 and 2015. But this isn't just nostalgia... it's a full leap forward. The RCZ Vision adopts Peugeot's new design language called Feline Future, pushing it to its maximum potential. The exterior blends flowing coupe lines with futuristic touches that reflect the French brand's identity.

STLA One Platform and Solid-State Battery

Underneath, Peugeot relies on the STLA One electric platform with 1,000-volt architecture, developed in partnership with Factorial Energy for the solid-state battery. The numbers speak: energy consumption doesn't exceed 11.5 kWh per 100 kilometers, a figure that reflects high efficiency in the performance electric coupe segment.

Total output reaches 500 horsepower. Range hits 600 kilometers on a single charge. These specs place the RCZ Vision in direct competition with the world's leading electric sports coupes, without sacrificing the driving enjoyment Peugeot is known for.

New i-Cockpit Cabin with Micro LED Displays

Inside, Peugeot offers a glimpse of the next-generation i-Cockpit system. The transparent Micro LED display sits directly above the Hypersquare control system, giving the driver all necessary information. The central screen features a vertical orientation with a slight tilt toward the driver. Can be fully switched off — its transparent design allows it to almost visually disappear. The result is a clean cabin freed from unnecessary elements.

The RCZ Vision comes equipped with the same production version of the Hypersquare system, set to debut in the next generation of the Peugeot E-208.

X-by-Wire Tech Debuts for the First Time in Peugeot History

The RCZ Vision is the first Peugeot to adopt Brake-by-Wire technology. The car showcases X-by-Wire systems that replace traditional mechanical linkages with electronic controls. The Steer-by-Wire system paired with Hypersquare combines innovative steering design with precise driving feedback. At low speeds, maneuvers become faster and easier without moving hands from their position. At high speeds, the steering ratio adjusts for smoother, more stable response.

These technologies aren't just a futuristic showcase. The production version of Hypersquare will arrive soon in the E-208, meaning what you see in the RCZ Vision today will be on roads tomorrow. The RCZ Vision paves the way for a future French electric coupe.
