Dynamic well-being

 

Zoom

C-Airlounge is fitted with the 3.0i V6 engine developing maximum power of 152 kW EEC (210 bhp DIN) at 6,000 rpm. The engine is coupled with an automatic auto-adaptive gearbox controlled by a sequential gear lever, or by paddles behind the wheel.




The steering wheel is of fixed hub design. It features the controls for the audio system, horn, electric parking brake, hands-free telephone and attitude adjustment function. This layout spares the driver any unnecessary movement and so contributes to exceptional driving pleasure. In terms of safety, the choice of a fixed-hub wheel ensures optimised performance in airbag deployment.

The Hydractive 3 suspension naturally sets high standards in comfort and roadholding. Offering a choice between two suspension settings, comfort or sport, it automatically adapts vehicle height to speed and road surface. This function lowers the centre of gravity by 15 mm to improve vehicle stability at sustained speeds. On badly damaged road surfaces, the suspension automatically increases vehicle height by 20 mm.

C-Airlounge is equipped with Michelin A Eole tyres whose development was part of the vehicle design process. As a result, the level of force generated by the tyre moving through the air has been optimised. This type of tyre offers the advantages of PAX System technology: flat-running, increased loading capacity, lower sidewalls with no trade-off in comfort, and reduced rolling resistance.
