The Carona C6 was a large car produced by Carona from 1935 to 1951. The C6 was a very modern car when released but looked dated by the time it was replaced by the Carona Maya.

The original C6 was produced from 1935 to 1941 and featured a designed modeled on the Citroen Traction Avant cars. This car came with a six-cylinder engine that produced 57 horsepower but with an optional 65 horsepower six as well. The C6 was never fast, taking 20 seconds to reach 60 mph, but were used by the police from 1937. These were all-black with black wheels. During the German occupation of Brunant, these were used as staff cars by the Germans.

Production of the C6 resumed in 1947 but these first few cars were identical to the 1940 models and often used leftover parts. In 1948 an updated model arrived, with revised styling. In 1950 and 1951 a 68 horsepower engine became available soursed from the Citroen Traction-Avant. Some 5500 cars were produced in 11 years of production
