New Citroen C6 (China)
If you took a closer look
at this year's Beijing Auto Show, then you know that the resurrected Citroen C6
cannot match the original model, which was canned four years ago. However,
since the large luxury sedan has recently went on sale in China, the news couldn’t
go by unreported.
According to
CarNewsChina, the four-door has a price that ranges between 189,900 and 279,900
yuan, and depending on the selected grade,
one can enjoy a digital instrument panel, a large infotainment screen, Apple
CarPlay compatibility, leather and wood trim, and other gizmos.
At over 5 meters in
length and with a 2.9-meter wheelbase, the new Citroen C6 is actually a tad
larger than the equivalent BMW 5-Series, but unlike the German executive car,
it lacks a wide engine range. In fact, the French model is only offered with
two powertrains - a 1.6-liter turbo with 167 horsepower and 245 Nm of torque, and a 1.8-liter turbo, rated at 180 HP and 280 Nm of
torque.
The car is underpinned by
the PSA EMP2 platform, just like its rebadged twin, the Fengshen A9, and the
smaller Peugeot 308 Sedan, which will also be used on the DS9 sedan, set to be
launched in late 2017.
