X6 Overview:
Toyota Cressida (X6). A four-door car with a separate trunk, ideal for families and daily commuting. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.

Performance Verdict
Provides superior smoothness and refinement thanks to its inline-six configuration, making it ideal for comfortable highway cruising and a more premium feel.
