The Ford Falcon BA Series, produced from 2002 to 2005, marked a significant evolution for the iconic Australian car. Built upon the previous AU platform, the BA series introduced a more refined and modern design with sharper lines and a more aerodynamic profile. Under the hood, the BA series offered a range of powerful and efficient engines, including the iconic 4.0L inline six-cylinder engine known for its durability and responsiveness. The series also boasted an array of advanced features, including a sophisticated suspension system that delivered a comfortable and engaging driving experience. The BA Series 2, launched in 2003, further refined the design by incorporating a more aggressive front grille, new headlights and taillights, and an updated interior with higher-quality materials. This upgrade also saw the introduction of several new features, such as an optional six-speed automatic transmission and the innovative "Smartlock" keyless entry system. The BA Series, particularly the Series 2, gained popularity for its blend of performance, practicality, and affordability. It offered a spacious cabin accommodating five adults comfortably and a large boot space for luggage and cargo. The BA series, despite being discontinued in 2008, continues to hold a cherished place in Australian automotive history, providing a testament to Ford's legacy of creating reliable, capable, and versatile vehicles.
