Citroën C6: A car to stir the emotionsThe Citroën C6 has arrived. The latest addition to an historic line of great Citroëns, with a stunning look in keeping with the Marque's reputation for style, the C6 takes the grand tourer concept and incorporates the latest cutting-edge technology.
This complete and innovative range of high-tech features includes a head-up display, lane departure warning system, Xenon directional headlamps, suspension with electronically controlled springing and damping, and a new 208 bhp V6 HDi engine. From any angle, the Citroën C6 has all the qualities necessary to ensure maximum appeal. Citroën C6: original, emotive styling An original design, the new Citroën C6 combines the Marque's own styling cues with those of an executive car. The proportions and profile immediately identify it as a member of the Citroën family. The C6 features a long front overhang and short rear overhang which, along with the design lines and general approach, bring powerful coupés to mind, while the impressive list of features is fitting of a prestige saloon. At the front, the Citroën C6 features a wide grille, with chrome-plated chevrons, that spans the nose to the vertical headlamps, which extend up onto the wings. A long wheelbase and flowing, aerodynamic profile give the Citroën C6 real presence, while suggesting space, stability and power. The windows hug the curve of the roof arch, which in turn blends smoothly into the rear pillars, in a subtle nod to coupé styling - an effect that is taken one step further by the frameless doors. At the rear, the design is particularly eye-catching. The concave window extends down to the boot lid and lights, thus adding the finishing touch to the body style. An air deflector is deployed automatically at speed, illustrating the attention paid to another key Citroën value: aerodynamics. The interior of the C6 creates an immediate impression of space and comfort. The pure lines of the dashboard, high-quality materials and comfortable, sculpted seats are an invitation to step on board and enjoy a relaxing ride. Looking beyond styling, the Citroën C6 offers a radical approach to automotive design, based on cutting-edge technology, dynamics and comfort. Citroën C6: advanced technology for comfort and driving pleasure The Citroën C6 reinforces one of Citroën's key values: innovation. The innovative driving position incorporates an easy-to-read driver's instrument panel, a large central screen and a head-up display. This display unit projects essential information - on speed and navigation for example - onto the windscreen, thus contributing to active safety. A first in the Citroën range, the C6 is equipped with an electric parking brake. This new feature is offered alongside numerous intelligent driving aids pioneered by Citroën and already present on the C4 and C5, such as the lane departure warning system, front and rear parking assistance, Xenon directional headlamps, cruise control and a speed limiter. Top-of-the-range positioning of the Citroën C6 is reflected by its engine line-up: two V6 engines, one diesel and one petrol, placing the emphasis on driving pleasure and refinement. A new HDi 2.7 litre engine develops 208 bhp DIN (150 kW) and is equipped with a particulate filter, while the 3-litre petrol engine develops 215 bhp DIN (155 kW). Both engines are mated to 6-speed automatic gearboxes. The running gear uses multi-link suspension at front and rear, while the suspension system features electronically controlled springing and damping. As a result, the C6 sets new standards in comfort, road-holding and driving pleasure. Thanks to its exceptional driving qualities and its exclusive approach to the art of life on-board, the C6 is perfectly placed to continue in the footsteps of other great Citroëns. Citroën C6: executive standards of comfort and relaxation
High-level active and passive safety are provided by a range of features, including ESP, a stiff body structure, a knee airbag and active headrests. Classic and yet thoroughly original, the Citroën C6 sets itself apart from the models that currently set the standard in the sector, while meeting all the requirements of an executive car: elegance, refinement and presence. On top of all this, the C6 adds Citroën's own unique stamp, combining strong emotional appeal with the application of cutting-edge technology. Once more, Citroën is showing itself to be a front runner in design, safety and comfort. The exceptional styling and exclusive equipment of the C6 will immediately appeal to all those who love cars and driving.

The Citroën C6 is truly a car to stir the emotions.
Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show, the C6 is an executive saloon that adds
the crowning touch to the range. The C6 has been inspired by the great
Citroëns of the past, models that have helped the Marque to establish
a strong heritage in large cars. The C6 takes the essential values of executive
saloons - elegance, sophistication and on-the-road presence - and combines
them with the Marque's own key values. Derived from classic Citroëns
and continuously updated, these values are expressed through the use of
cutting-edge technology, innovative styling and the pursuit of comfort. With
an emphasis on sophistication and appeal, the C6 sets new standards for design,
comfort, refinement and the use of the latest technology. Together with flowing,
elegant body lines, the C6 boasts an interior of original ergonomic design.
The clean, pure lines of the architecture, give the occupants an immediate
impression of exceptional comfort. This outstanding comfort is associated
with the understated and intuitive design of the driving position. Although
the environment is completely new, the driver immediately feels at ease.
The Citroën C6 features the latest technical advances in terms of its
instrumentation, engines and running gear.
Each feature of the cabin contributes
to the overall comfort: multi-adjustable seats, soundproofing, thermal comfort
and a specially designed driving position. The original design of the driving
position and ergonomic dashboard allows drivers to keep their eyes on the
road at all times. The laminated side windows of the C6 filter out external
noise, helping to create a relaxed atmosphere on-board whilst also enhancing
driver concentration. Occupants enjoy generous amounts of space in the
user-friendly interior. Passengers in the back can adjust the
electrically-controlled sliding rear seats to obtain the ideal relaxed seating
position. The stowage compartments in the doors are inspired by the latest
trends in home furniture design, thus reinforcing the concept of the car
as a 'lounge on wheels'. Citroën is continuously working to improve
passenger well-being, and the air-conditioning on the C6 includes a soft
diffusion system, designed to create a uniform blanket of air around the
passengers, and to enhance thermal comfort. The C6 also sets out to be a
class leader in safety, in terms of both vehicle control and passenger
protection.
