The new
Ford Falcon greeted the Australian market amid much ado and expectation. Interested car buyers have been looking forward to its introduction for some time and the vehicle did not disappoint. The Ford Falcon comes in three rim levels including the XT, G, and the top-of-the-line XR. Externally, the only detectable difference between the three cars is the exterior kit on the trim level. The major difference among the three can be found under the hood.
Ford Falcon Baseline XT
The baseline XT version come equipped with a 4.0 engine that can produce 261 horsepower and 391 of toque. It is available in 5-speed automatic version with sequential manual shifting. Drivers looking for more sophistication can also opt for the ZF 6-speed automatic. Another engine option uses LPG that is capable of producing 209 horsepower in a 4-speed automatic gearshift. Most mainstream customers prefer the 5-speed or 6-speed gearshift while taxi operators typically opt to buy the version that uses LPG.
Ford Falcon G
In many ways, the Ford Falcon G is similar to the XT 5-speed automatic version. But it is also distinct because it contains the G series front bumper, 17 inch wheels, fog lamps, as well as a better equipped and more comfortable interior. It is obviously geared for more up-market customers who want value for money.
Another notable difference between the two is its suspension because Ford Falcon G is designed for a sportier drive. Other additional features you can expect include the ZF 6 speed-gearbox, Bluetooth capability, premium DVD and audio system, duel-zone climate control, and the power driver seat.
The top of the line Ford Falcon G is known as the G6E Turbo. It contains a turbocharged inline 6-engine that is capable of generating 363 horsepower at 5,250rpm and 533Nm of torque from 2,000rpm to 4,750rpm. It makes use of a 6-speed ZF automatic gearbox; in addition, this version can be integrated with the iPod, a bonus for music lovers.
Ford Falcon XR Series
The Ford Falcon XR series is available in three types of trims: XR6, XR6 Turbo, and the XR8. The XR6 has the same inline-6 gearbox as the XT but a Tremec 6-speed manual option is provided. Meanwhile, XR6 Turbo has the same turbocharged engine as the G6E but it has an additional limited slip differential. The top-of-the-range XR8 has a normally aspirated 5.4-liter V8 engine that is capable of generating 389 horsepower and 520Nm of torque at 4,750rpm.
The wide range of selections available will surely delight any
Ford Falcon enthusiast. The range is suitable for everyone, whether they are looking for a sporty car or an everyday vehicle.
