The AU Falcon featured a bolder, more aerodynamic design with a wider grille, sculpted front bumper, and integrated fog lights. Mechanically, it boasted a range of powerful and efficient engines, including the 4.0L "Barra" inline six-cylinder engine, known for its smooth power delivery and robust performance. The AU Falcon also introduced an updated interior with improved ergonomics, more comfortable seating, and increased cabin space. While the base model offered a functional and practical cabin, higher trim levels like the XR6 and XR8 featured sportier interiors with leather upholstery and upgraded audio systems.
