Safety is guaranteed by dual front and curtain airbags, electronic parking brake, hill-start hold, hill descent control, a surround view camera system, and an advanced driver assistance system.

On the other hand, the M6 Pro is positioned to be an ideal MPV for Filipino families. It offers a spacious and comfortable cabin with second-row captain seats and user-friendly tech features, including a 10.25-inch infotainment display that also comes with Apple Carplay connectivity, a seven-inch digital instrument cluster, and Type-A and Type-C USB ports.
