The Ford Falcon EF and EL, produced between 1994 and 1998, were the sixth and seventh generations of the iconic Australian-made Falcon model. These vehicles represented a significant evolutionary step for the Falcon, building upon the success of the previous ED model while incorporating a host of improvements and modernizations. The EF series, introduced in 1994, featured a sleek new aerodynamic design aimed at enhancing fuel efficiency and reducing wind noise. The distinctive grille, featuring a single horizontal slat beneath the Ford emblem, and the rounded headlights gave the EF a more contemporary look. Under the hood, the EF benefited from the introduction of the new 4.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, known as the "Barra," offering improved power and torque compared to its predecessor. Further enhancements included a redesigned interior with improved ergonomics and a more spacious cabin, along with a new independent rear suspension system that provided enhanced handling and ride comfort.
Building upon the success of the EF, the EL series was introduced in 1996, bringing with it several notable changes. While retaining the overall styling of the EF, the EL featured revised front and rear bumpers, new alloy wheel designs, and updated interior trim. The EL also saw the introduction of a range of safety upgrades, including driver and passenger airbags and ABS brakes. The EL series was also praised for its enhanced performance through the introduction of the powerful "XR6" model, equipped with a high-output version of the Barra engine. The Falcon EF and EL series were significant milestones in the evolution of the Falcon, offering a compelling blend of performance, comfort, and practicality. These vehicles continued to be popular choices for Australian families and enthusiasts alike, cementing their place as iconic Australian cars.
