Citroen C6 also does a good job of delivering the latest technology for Europe, including a heads-up display that projects a virtual image, providing key driving information, onto the windscreen, helping to improve
safety by allowing drivers to keep their eyes on the road ahead. Controls on the dashboard allow the driver to turn the display on or off, select which information to display or adjust the image format.
In-car entertainment, communications and satellite navigation is provided via a centrally-mounted color screen, whilst the steering wheel houses the cruise control and speed-limiter functions.
In a first for a Citroen, the traditional handbrake is replaced by an electrically operated parking brake, with a control mounted on the centre console, freeing up room for useful storage space.
In keeping with its executive car status, the C6 offers exceptional levels of equipment, including a Lane Departure Warning System that alerts the driver to involuntary lane changes, and Xenon dual function directional headlamps that enable the driver to see more of the road when cornering.
There are nine airbags, including one to protect the driver's knees, as well as active head restraints which help prevent whiplash injuries. And helping the driver to maintain control in even the most demanding of conditions, the C6 has electronic stability control and a high-performance braking system that includes ventilated discs at both front and rear.
Effortless cruising is provided by two V-6 engines.
Designed to provide a smooth delivery of power, the 3-litre gasoline unit delivers 215 hp at 6,000 rpm and about 210 lb-ft of torque at 3,752 rpm.
Developed specifically for luxury cars, the highly refined 2.7 diesel engine is equipped with a new generation particulate filter and develops 208 hp at 4,000 rpm and an impressive 325 lb-ft of torque at just 1,900 rpm.
Both engines are mated to six-speed automatic gearboxes.
And it's all wrapped in one of the most striking sedan shapes to come along in some time.
