The C6 is a Parisian boutique hotel room on wheels; the bulb in that vintage bedside lamp may keep blowing but those curtains will still look amazing. It’s chic, quirky and pretentious with technology that leaves you wanting for nothing; it’s innovative Citroën at its best offering a super smooth ride with SM/DS blood in its veins. The C6 Is big, bold and very, very French now with a stonking new 3.0 litre HDI engine but is any Citroën really worth £38 grand!?

The C6 is now only available with HDI engines ranging from 2.2 litres up to the brand new 3.0 litre found in the Range Rover Sport and Jaguar XF. The 3.0 HDI develops 240ps and delivers impressive mid range punch allowing the C6 to silently surge to 60 in 8.9 seconds. Gear changes through the auto box are fast and seamless and the C6 will go on to nudge 150mph. Torque is impressive with 450 lb/ft from only 1600 rpm and although it’s not blindingly fast from standstill you have to remember this is almost 2 tonnes of French fancy. The experience can only be described as taking a boutique hotel room for a spin as I actually forgot about how fast it was; performance seemed irrelevant. However the 3.0 seems a tad pointless with the 2.7 so close on performance; they both have the same 0.60 time and have just 6mph difference on top speed yet the 3.0 is considerably thirstier.
