Peugeot's 'i-cockpit' has been around a few years now but it's been updated and improved recently so it's still just as impressive as it was at launch. It's bold, it looks good and it's cutting edge.
The dashboard is styled to suit a laid back driving position. It features a small steering wheel that's designed to be looked over rather than through when you're checking out the instruments. It's all very ergonomically designed – hats off to the Peugeot design team. Futuristic buttons and soft-touch textiles give the whole cabin a real sense of tech-heavy ambience.
