Electric Tailgate Rear Door Kit for Citroen DS 6 2015-2019

DS 6 is a compact SUV whose rear hatch is tall, wide and heavy on its gas struts, which makes one-handed loading difficult. This conversion kit replaces those struts with a pair of electric lift cylinders controlled by a tailgate ECU, giving the vehicle powered opening and closing from the key fob, the dash button, the hatch handle or a foot sensor under the bumper. Brackets follow the original strut ball studs, so nothing on the body is drilled or cut and the kit can be removed later.

Selling Points Behind This Kit

• Automatic Trunk Opening Kit: the ECU drives both cylinders in step so the hatch rises evenly, holds at the stored angle and closes under motor control.
• Electric Tailgate Retrofit Harness: a pre terminated loom with OEM style plugs runs from the module to the latch, the dash switch and the rear sensor, so no wire splicing is needed.
• Car Electric Trunk Motor: brushed motors with steel spindles deliver steady torque in cold weather and stay quiet in normal use.

How It Behaves On The Car

• Soft start and soft stop ramping keeps the hatch from jerking at the beginning and end of travel.
• Hall pulse monitoring watches lid speed, and a current spike reverses the hatch immediately when it touches an obstacle.
• The module refuses commands unless the selector sits in P, and it drops out if the vehicle starts moving.
• Two stored heights can be set for underground car parks and low canopies.
• The original manual strut release stays usable in case of a flat battery.
• Loom and cylinders are sealed against splash water and road salt.

Technical Parameters

Fitment Check

The kit is tooled for the DS 6 built between 2015 and 2019, in both petrol and diesel versions sold in Asia and Europe. Strut length and hinge pickup differ on the DS 7 Crossback and on the Citroen C5 Aircross, so those parts are not shared. Send the VIN or the model year and trim level before ordering and we will confirm the cylinder length and plug type for your batch.

Packing and Trade Terms

Sets travel in an export carton with foam end caps, and each part bag is labelled with the step number printed in the fitting guide. Before shipment the cylinders are cycled under load, every loom is checked for continuity, and the ECU is flashed and bench tested. Wholesale buyers get a 24 month defect warranty, spare cylinders and ECUs held in stock, and English language remote support for workshops.
