Hydropneumatic suspension with electronically controlled damping and ride control

The hydropneumatic suspension in the Citroën C6 (1st Gen) is one of the most innovative systems in its class. It automatically adjusts damping and vehicle level to the driving style and road conditions, for optimum ride comfort and maximum stability. In Normal mode, bumps are smoothly absorbed, while in Sport mode firmer damping provides more dynamic handling. Switching modes is simple at the touch of a button, and the selected mode is stored. Visual indicators and LED signals in the instrument cluster provide additional control. This suspension is a technical highlight that ideally combines luxury and safety.

The hydropneumatic suspension with electronically controlled damping and ride control continuously adjusts the dampers automatically, depending on individual driving style and road condition, to achieve the best possible comfort for driver and passengers and optimum road holding.

Normal mode: This mode favours filtering of road bumps and soft damping for optimum comfort.

Sport mode: Pressing control A adjusts the suspension more towards sporty driving. This mode favours firm damping for optimum control of body movements.
