Peugeot revives RCZ coupe as electric concept with solid-state battery

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 13 Oct, 00:02 · Archive

Peugeot has unveiled the RCZ Vision electric coupe concept at the 2026 Paris motor show with solid-state battery technology.

Peugeot has unveiled the RCZ Vision, an electric coupe concept that revives the brand's former RCZ model. Revealed at the 2026 Paris motor show, the four-seat concept demonstrates Peugeot's upcoming technologies and 'Feline Future' design language, wrapping them in an aggressive, muscular stance with new three-claw headlights and tail-lights, as well as an active rear spoiler.

The RCZ Vision combines a 1000V electrical architecture with solid-state battery technology developed in partnership with US battery firm Factorial Energy, in which Peugeot parent company Stellantis invested in 2021. The solid-state batteries promise to be safer and cost less than conventional lithium-ion batteries, whilst charging much faster and offering 20 to 50 per cent longer range. The concept's battery pack is only 110mm thick.

The 500hp powertrain consumes just 11.5kWh per 100km, with Peugeot claiming a 600km WLTP range. The solid-state battery enables a 10 to 80 per cent charge in as little as 10 minutes. Peugeot has not confirmed whether the RCZ Vision will enter production.
