ON THE ROAD: IMPRESSIVE DYNAMIC QUALITIES

Featuring the latest Citroën technology, the C6 aims to set the standard in roadholding and comfort. The emphasis is placed on active safety and driving pleasure. 

State-of-the-art engines
The C6 is available with two V6 engines, each mated to a 6-speed automatic gearbox, and continuously variable hydraulic power steering.
Both engines offer a smooth ramp-up in power with remarkably quiet running. 

Petrol engine: 3.0i V6 developing 215 bhp DIN
This engine features similar technology to the 3.0 V6 fitted on the C5, with 2% more power  (+ 3 kW) and torque (+ 5 Nm). It delivers 155 kW EEC (215 bhp DIN) at 6,000 rpm and 290 Nm of torque EEC at 3,750 rpm.
This engine is fitted with a new exhaust line and dual-mode active silencer, which improves both performance and acoustics. By redirecting the exhaust gases through the silencer, depending on driving conditions, this system improves engine acoustics in normal conditions of use and improves performance under load.
In terms of environmental protection, the V6 engine meets the Euro IV emission standard. 

Diesel engine: 2.7 V6 HDi DPFS developing 208 bhp DIN
This new V6 diesel engine combines power and fuel economy. It was developed as part of the cooperation between the PSA Peugeot Citroën Group and Ford Motor Company. Delivering a responsive performance from the lowest engine speeds, it develops 150 kW EEC (208 bhp DIN) at 4,000 rpm and torque of 440 Nm EEC at 1,900 rpm. This is an engine that combines smooth, gradual power with exceptional operating comfort.
With capacity of 2,720 cm³, this engine features four overhead camshafts and 24 valves, along with common-rail direct multi-injection and two variable-geometry turbochargers.
The cast-iron cylinder block, aluminium bearing retainer and composite cylinder-head cover make the engine smaller, stiffer and lighter.
Through its advanced design,  this V6 engine satisfies the Euro IV emission standard. It is equipped with a new-generation particulate filter, which now needs replacing only every 180,000 km.
Driving pleasure is enhanced not only by these two engines but also by their new 6-speed automatic gearbox. Smooth gear changing ensures a level of driveability that is commensurate with the C6's ambitions.
