Renault’s Citroen C6

09th June 2010

Big is beautiful for Renault! Despite shifting focus away from larger cars in Europe, big is best in many of the emerging markets. And Renault’s bid to conquer the likes of Asia, Africa, the Gulf States, Mexico, Turkey, Russia and Australia will be spearheaded by this, the new Latitude.

At 4.89-metres long, 1.83-metres wide and 1.49-metres high, the newcomer is almost exactly the same size as the Citroen C6. Based on the same platform as the Laguna-derived SM5, which was recently launched in Korea, the Latitude will offer generous amounts of space and equipment.

A spacious interior and class-leading boot are promised, and standard kit is set to include including a dual-mode air ioniser with double fragrance diffuser, triple-zone climate control, a massaging driver's seat, Bose Premium audio and Renault hands-free card.

The Latitude will make its public debut at the Moscow Motor Show in August, before making its European bow at the Paris show in October. No decision has been made on whether the car will be brought to the UK.
