Like the Holdens, the Falcons are rear-wheel-drive. The FG is all-new, with a more rigid architecture, new and/or upgraded powertrains, increased variety in terms of visual and interior options, and improvements in fuel economy as well. The factory performance wing, FPV, will also introduce a full range of FG-based sedans and Utes.

As for the standard FG Falcon variant, the sedan will come in XT, G-Series, and XR trim levels, with the Ute joining it in base, R6, and XR Trims. The powerful inline six-cylinders (normally-aspirated and turbocharged) are joined by a range-topping V8 -- this time, in the form of the hand-built FPV-supplied 5.4L Boss 290.

The normal aspirated V8 is good for 388 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque while the turbo six offers 362 hp and 393 lb-ft of torque. An LPG-fueled E-Gas version of the I6 is also offered on the Falcon XT sedan and the XR6 Ute.
