Citroen C6 dashboard meter

Posted in Cars, Technology / By /

The car dashboard. You will spend most of your time as a car owner facing it. Many car companies have been trying to revolutionize the way dashboard information is presented to you. Honda has it’s split deck design with 2 levels of meters. Some companies position the dashboard meter cluster in the middle like the Toyota VIOS, Nissan X-Trail and even our Perodua Kancil.

I kind of like Citroen’s approach with the Citroen C6’s dashboard. Nice and compact display shows indicators, RPM, speed, gear shift position and fuel level in digital form, and speed is projected on the windscreen via a heads-up display.

    Kewl. But I think the best Heads-Up-Display (HUD) still belongs to the Chevrolet Corvette. It's even got a gauge (projected to the windscreen) showing G-forces when you corner. Not sure whether it shows G forces for acceleration or braking though. Pretty kewl, and could cause you to get in an accident should you be watching the HUD more than paying attention to the road, hahah!!

    The bottom console reminds me a bit of the OLD Honda Prelude of the 80s where the speed in KMH was in Huge Red numbers and the RPM was arcade like. Problem with these things are that if they K/O, your whole car has to go to the centre as well.

    Cool. Nothing can ever beat HUD when a car manufacturer wants to help a driver keep his eyes on the road, instead of having to look down at the speedometer from time to time :)

    Wahlaueh…

    it is a good revolutionary design, keep it up… If this HUD install together with night enhance system (from BMW) in a car then it will be more safe to drive. Wonder when P1 can gives us some revolutionary design…???

    It's more of a distraction I think , especially to a new owner.

    Cool to show off to babes though !

    I still prefer looking at needles for the speedometer and tachometer, the others are fine though.

    I also prefer needles, look at needles is easier then reading numbers.

    Really futuristic… seem like terminator wearing glasses showing you the data of near-by objects. Cool…
