This sixth generation of the iconic Falcon model marked a departure from its predecessors, embracing a more modern and aerodynamic design. Gone were the boxy lines of its ancestors, replaced by a sleek and sculpted profile that reflected the car's ambitious technological advancements. The AU Falcon was built on a new platform, underpinned by independent front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension, which significantly improved handling and ride comfort. It was offered in a variety of body styles, including sedans, wagons, and utilities, catering to a diverse range of customer needs. Powertrain options ranged from the efficient 4-cylinder engine to the powerful 6-cylinder engine, with both manual and automatic transmissions available. The 1998-2002 Ford Falcon AU was not only a stylish and capable car but also a landmark in terms of safety features. It was the first Falcon to be equipped with dual front airbags as standard, later adding side airbags as part of its ongoing safety improvements.

The AU Falcon's legacy extends beyond its impressive mechanical attributes. It was a car that captured the imagination of the nation, featuring prominently in Australian motorsport and popular culture.
