PEUGEOT's new PANORAMIC i-COCKPIT® revealed

Debuting on the New PEUGEOT 3008 later this year, PEUGEOT has revealed the new look panoramic i-Cockpit®. The next-gen PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® features a stunning 21-inch high-definition curved panoramic screen resting on the dashboard, a new compact steering wheel, and touch-sensitive i-Toggles.

After 10 years of i-Cockpit® innovation this year and almost 10 million units sold, PEUGEOT is introducing the next generation of i-Cockpit®. The many generations of PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® have included the most modern available technology – including a digital instrument cluster, wireless connectivity, voice commands, 3D effects, and customisable i-Toggles. The next generation i-Cockpit® continues this tradition of innovation by including a curved 21-inch high-definition floating touchscreen that incorporates the head-up display and central touchscreen.

The new design brings together two of the three fundamental elements of the i-Cockpit®, the raised head-up display and a large central touchscreen. These are now features of a curved panoramic screen consisting of a single 21-inch HD panel, extending from the left-hand end of the dashboard to the centre console. The screen is attached by an invisible rear mount to create a 'floating' effect, accentuated by LED mood lighting beneath the screen.

The centre of the dashboard houses the i-Toggles, fully customisable touch-sensitive buttons that can be programmed with 10 presets to provide speedy access to the user's favourite functions, such as calling a contact, beginning navigation to a frequently used destination, changing the radio station, or setting the ideal temperature for the air conditioning.

The centre console is airy and uncluttered to increase storage and wireless smartphone charging space. This was possible by moving the automatic gearbox selector to the dashboard, to the side of the steering wheel, and just next to the car's stop/start button. This allows easy access to the gearbox control and to stop or start the engine in a single intuitive gesture.

The compact steering wheel has always been a fundamental element of the PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® and has been extensively reworked to provide an even greater driving feel and comfort. It retains its compact look, yet features a more modern design – the central cushion has been redesigned to be smaller and 'isolated' from the steering wheel spokes, providing a levitating effect similar to the panoramic screen on the dashboard.

The controls located on the steering wheel are now ‘tactile clicking’ to provide ideal ergonomics. To avoid any accidental inputs, they automatically detect the driver's fingers but are only activated when pressed.

The 21-inch floating panoramic screen is not the only element that contributes to the sleek look of the new PEUGEOT panoramic i-Cockpit®. The strong appeal and technological character are enhanced by the ambient lighting extending across the width of the dashboard and door panels. This lighting is reflected on an elegant piece of aluminium and can be customised in eight different colours.
