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

A symbol of the Company’s expertise, the C6 joins a select circle of executive saloons from Citroën. It has the emotional appeal required by true connoisseurs of exceptional cars.
The design lines and general approach give the C6 the looks of a powerful coupé, whilst its interior space and impressive levels of equipment are indicative of a prestige saloon.
The C6 is a distinctive vehicle of majestic allure, with a front end suggesting power and prestige, a flowing, aerodynamic profile and an original rear end conveying an impression of confidence and stability.  




The stunning design of the C6 is embodied by its flowing lines, energy, aerodynamics and elegance. The body is characterised by a long front overhang and short rear overhang. The design and shape of the C6 reflect the emotional appeal of an elegant, dynamic coupé with the proportions and features of an executive limousine.
The attractive, imposing  profile of the C6 is showcased by its generous dimensions –  1.86 m wide, 1.46 m high and 4.91 m long, with a 2.90 m wheelbase.
The cabin size is highlighted by the long front and rear doors and by the large glazed area, which lets the light flood in. The windows on the frameless doors – in themselves a nod to prestige coupé design – also contribute to creating a bright and airy interior.
The doors underline the impression of elegance, contributing to the flowing profile of the C6. The quarter window integrates neatly with the rear door, thus extending the line of the body, and adding a further touch to the car's natural elegance.


The elegant, taut lines and harmonious styling of the C6 have a strong and immediate appeal.
From a front ¾ view, the Citroën C6 conveys an impression of power with its low-slung stance and large bumper that features an integrated air intake between the two round fog lamps and daytime running lights.
The wide front end is accentuated by the chrome chevrons that reach out to the slim headlamps, as on other Citroën vehicles. The originally shaped headlamps provide a link between the bumper, the wings and the long, smooth curved form of the bonnet. Designed to incorporate the side lights  they extend up onto the wings of the car.
The separation of the headlamps, daytime running lights and fog lamps give the Citroën C6 a piercing, determined gaze.
The shape, parallel lines and contours of the front end give the C6 real presence, and remind us that it is a truly unique work of art.




The harmonious design is also expressed in the high, clearly marked waist line – reinforcing the impression of safety – and in the roof line whose contours run the length of the body, down to the concave window at the rear.

The profile of the C6 alternates taut, radical lines with rounded, more natural shapes. The wings house large-diameter wheels. The proportions and dynamic design of the wheels fill the wheel arches, creating an impression of power and agility allied with strength and endurance.

As a further touch of refinement, the lower body is smartly finished off by a chrome strip that extends to the rear bumper where the original design reflects the attention paid to innovative styling.





The Citroën C6 features a rear end with a unique styling that reflects the Marque's style cues.
In keeping with the spirit of large Citroëns of the past, the Citroën C6 has a concave rear window. Besides its originality, the concave shape highlights the generous size of the boot and provides excellent visibility.
A discreetly integrated air deflector at the top of the tailgate contributes to vehicle stability at speed.
The spearhead-shaped, coloured rear lights are positioned atop the rear wings where, slightly offset, they meet the roof arch.
Another key characteristic of the determined and powerful-looking rear end is the design of the rear pillars, which help to protect the tailgate and partially conceal the boot. The powerful design of the front and rear ends visually stabilise the car.
A chrome strip separates the boot and the rear bumper, which highlights the width of the body and incorporates a chrome twin exhaust pipe.
