CITROËN C6



REVEALED AT THE GENEVA SALON ON 10TH FEBRUARY 2005 IS THE NEW TOP OF THE RANGE C6, THE LONG AWAITED REPLACEMENT FOR THE XM

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.


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.
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.
