When the BA Falcon series were released, Ford Australia knew there was space for two different XR6 models in the marketplace—the Ford Falcon XR6 and the Ford Falcon XR6 Turbo. Both the models are almost similar in overall specifications and feel, but different in a 58kW variation in power. The XR6 Turbo is created to make the 235kW LS1 V8 specifications die in utmost shame, while the XR6 is created to beat the VX Commodore including its supercharged version.

The basic Ford Falcon XR6 is equipped with a five-speed manual gearbox. If, however, you want a Ford sequential sport shift four speed auto, then all you have to do is add about $900. The XR6 makes use of several driveline ratios as its turbo variant. Compared to the XR6 Turbo, the basic XR6 does not have standard LSD—the LSD is optional for the XR6 and can have one for only $360.

Akin to the XR6 Turbo, the basic Ford Falcon XR6 wishbone front suspension and Control Blade IRS offers passengers a ride that is so comfortable and supple, it is considered to be just right for average people who want to experience a certain degree of luxury.

When it comes to the running gear of XR6, though the chassis tends to under steer in some situations, the chassis is somehow neutral, stable and is really quick when it comes to point to point situations.

The Ford Falcon XR6 is easy to be comfortable with. Its driving position is great; controls are all well laid out and the 360- degree visibility is remarkable.

The interiors of the basic XR6 is simple yet sophisticated—perfect for the average man who wants a mix of simplicity and luxury. Pieces of equipment include an interior command center, trip computer; adjustable lumbar support for front seats, four way electric driver’s seat, remote keyless entry, cruise control, XR brushed aluminum finish controls, and an XR logo that has a backlight.

In terms of a safe ride, the XR features of the XR6 include an electronic restraints module which holds down a pair of two-stage front airbags, front seatbelts, and seatbelt retractors. If you want side airbags, Ford will install it for you at an affordable price.
