    Standard safety kit includes 8 airbags, ABS with EBD, traction control, electronic stability control and front and rear parking sensors. 

    Buyers can customise the X6 as per their liking, with a wide range of exterior colours, interior upholstery, trims, alloy wheels and optional extras on offer.
