Final Falcon: Full specs

More pics and equipment list revealed for Ford's FG X Falcon range

Ford Australia has announced full equipment details for its final Falcon, the facelifted FG X range, ahead of its release in November.

The Blue Oval yesterday announced the upgraded Falcon will be its most technologically advanced yet, thanks to Ford's latest WiFi-enabled SYNC2 and Emergency Assistance connectivity systems as standard across the range.

Along with range-wide feature details and confirmation of the slimmed-down model line-up, Ford has also release more images of the Falcon's restyled interior and exterior, including our first look at the new-look Falcon Ute.

The FG X will be available in the choice of six sedan variants — Falcon, G6E, G6E Turbo, XR6, XR6 Turbo and XR8 — and five utilities: Cab Chassis, Styleside box, XR6 Cab Chassis, XR6 Styleside box and XR6 Turbo Styleside box.

That means the previous entry-level and mid-range G6 have been combined into a single 'Falcon' model.

Ford is yet to reveal details of the new XR8 sedan, but except for the addition of the first V8 since 2010, engine and transmission options remain unchanged, meaning the Falcon will be the only Australian-made large car available with four, six and eight-cylinder powertrains, as well as a turbocharged and LPG sixes.

Ten exterior paint colours will be available including the new Fine Alloy for G6E and Victory Gold for XR models.

Ford will announce full pricing and specifications prior to the Falcon's public debut — in born-again XR8 form — in Melbourne on October 3.

All that remains after that is our first drive at the official launch in late November.
