The new premium is based on the same platform as the Citroen DS5. Initially, it was planned to put it on the EMP2, which also built enough cars, however, the company decided that it was not worth doing that.
2017 Citroen C6 car design
We can immediately say that the Citroen C6 2017-2018 looks stylish, solid and expensive. Here you can clearly see details from Volkswagen, Audi, in general, for some reason the model is made in the style of the VAG concern. However, this was only beneficial, although the car will not become very recognizable, but at least it will be attractive.
The radiator grille is chrome-plated, the two main strips on the top go into the company logo. Fortunately, it has such a form that you can easily turn such a move. LED optics emphasize the style and class of the car, it is interestingly divided into several sections, there are also lenses and fluorescent running lights.
In profile, this is a really solid car. With a length of 4.98 meters, the sedan makes an indelible impression, which for a long time evokes feelings very close to delight. Firstly, I would like to note the uncomplicated, rather simple forms of the side part, which are distinguished by severity and style, calmness and regularity. The height of the sedan is only 1.47 meters, and with a ground clearance of only 120 mm, it is generally difficult to imagine it on the roads of our country. By the way, it should be said in advance that no deliveries of the French executive class are expected to us. The wheelbase is exactly 2.9 meters. Compared to other competitors, this is a very good result. In general, China is very fond of long cars, many automakers even specifically for this occasion produce extended versions of production models.
A small gusset plate in the glazing opposite the rearview mirror lends sophistication, while a chrome edging across the entire glass area adds even more charm and luxury. There is one point here that is not usually paid attention to in reviews, and it is not at all positive. And it concerns, oddly enough, assembly and clearances, fitting parts.
If you look closely at the high-quality photos of Citroen C6, you will notice that this very chrome edging at the door joints is not quite a straight line. Of course, this may seem insignificant, but for a car worth about 200 thousand yuan (1.8 million rubles), this is simply unacceptable. And the price is for the basic configuration.
The back part is also almost completely copied from VAG, if you look at the same Fideon, you can see the similarities with the naked eye. The wide chrome bar accentuates the Citroen C6 class, while the taillights are clearly in the style of the Lexus GS300.
The rear window is tinted to the same degree as the panoramic roof, so it looks very expensive and stylish.
Interior of the new Citroen C6 2017
At first glance, when you get into the 2017 Citroen C6, it seems that you are in an Audi from the 90s. And it’s not that bad. It was then that it was wood that acted as wood inlay, and if there was aluminum in the cabin, then it was really aluminum, and not plastic stylized as metal. All this was inherited by the new Citroen C6.
So, in front of the driver's eyes is a very strict and rich dashboard, trimmed with leather. It's not just leather, it's Nappa. The gaze just as involuntarily rushes at the vertical deflectors, trimmed in chrome, and in general there is quite a lot of chrome here. And I can't believe that this is really metal, because the car is a co-platform with a Chinese. However, this is the case. The handlebar edging isn't wood, of course, but it's trimmed and heated. Strange, loan in China heated steering wheel?
Anyway. In front of the driver of the Citroen C6, a large digital instrument panel opens, which has a diagonal of 12.3 inches. It can be anything from a large speedometer to a navigator display. By the way, the Dongfeng soplatform device has an analog shield.
You shouldn't stutter about the amount of space at all, because the width of the executive sedan is as much as 1.86 meters. This made it possible not only to install two giant chairs in front with adjustments like a spaceship, but also to install a full-fledged cabinet between them, into which the whole of Narnia would fit.
There is no center console as such. There is an 8-inch touchscreen display that can serve both multimedia and navigation (why two displays with navigation?), And underneath is the climate control unit in the cabin. More precisely, only in front. Interestingly, the climate control is four-zone, and special microphones are installed in the front and rear, which transmit sound to the speakers for better communication between the driver and passengers. This can only be found in premium seans from Audi or Mercedes.
Among other things, I would like to note the heated seats and ventilation, and if you pay a little more, you can also enjoy the massage function. The multimedia has 12 speakers, and special sunshades with a servo drive are installed on the doors.
Specifications Citroen C6 2017
Many might think that the 2017 Citroen C6 is a clumsy cuttlefish, unable to even move itself, not that passengers. But this is far from the case. Under the hood of a Frenchman or a Chinese, it doesn't matter, the engine is the same, a 1.8-liter turbo four with a capacity of 204 horses is installed. With a mass of 1.6 tons, we get acceleration to hundreds in just 8.6 seconds. And this despite the fact that only a 6-speed automatic is installed on the car, and no other transmission.
Fuel consumption in this mode will average 8.6 liters of gasoline, while the maximum speed is about 230 km / h. Not bad for a joint project between China and France.
