It’s probably the electronic diff (XDS) having a funny half hour.

Could be a sensor problem, uneven tyre wear or wildly different tyre pressures across the front “axle”.

The system used the cars brakes, does the car pull up in a straight line? If it doesn’t you might have a calliper or brake pad problem.

You could have a (careful) quick corner with the ESP/ASR/TCS/ESC/whatever-it's-called disabled and see if it makes a difference.
But In the 6R, the ESC light will illuminate when the ESP is helping out. Not sure how this is for the XDS and the 6C though.
