It's pretty clear that they wanted improved visibility to the display behind the wheel.

Its pretty clear it was purely for aesthetics and wow factor.

Its a solution to a non-existent problem - you can see the instrument cluster through the gap between the hub and upper rim of the wheel and tilt adjustment caters for different height people.

Peugeot's approach to this is to make the steering wheel compact, give it a flatter top and raise the instrument cluster.
