雪铁龙将重新恢复推出C6车型，该车将进入中国市场且仅供中国。据法国媒体报道，内部编号为X81的首款原型车已经于去年11月组装完毕。该车基于标致雪铁龙的EMP2平台，将搭载1.8和2.0升涡轮汽油引擎，未来还将增加一款混动版本。在设计上，新款C6将深受2010年上海车展亮相的Metropolis概念车影响。不过量产版车头造型更低调一些，轴距也略短。C6量产版将由东风标致雪铁龙在中国生产，计划于今年三季度发布，随后于年底在国内上市。另外，DS品牌也将推出基于C6的旗舰级轿车DS9。该车将比C6更高端，将由长安标致雪铁龙生产。目前还不清楚DS9具体上市时间，但有报道称该车将于明年上市。

 

Citroen to resurrect C6 nameplate in China

Citroen will reportedly bring back the C6 moniker to its lineup with a new model that will be offered exclusively in China.

 

According to French forums Worldscoop, first prototype of the model, codenamed X81, has been assembled back in November last year. It is believed the vehicle is based on PSA’s EMP2 platform and will be powered by 1.8- and 2.0-liter turbocharged petrol engines. A hybrid powertrain is also in the cards for later launch.

 

In terms of design, the new C6 will be heavily influenced by the Citroen Metropolis concept that was revealed in 2010 in Shanghai, featuring a toned down front end and shorter wheelbase. The production model will be manufactured by the Dongfeng-PSA joint venture in China with sales expected to start before the end of 2016. The official premiere of the car is scheduled for the third quarter of the year.

 

Interestingly, DS Automobiles will introduce a C6-based flagship model that will likely wear the DS9 name. As expected, it will be slightly more upmarket product and will be assembled by the Changan-PSA joint venture, producing DS vehicles. No exact launch date is known at the moment, but reports around the web suggest we’ll see the new Numero 9 concept-based model in 2017.
