With Falcon sales continuing to fall further behind those of arch-rival Holden Commodore Ford Australia has announced significant price cuts across the range led by a reduction of just under $10,000 on the range-topping G6E Turbo.

Additional equipment in what is destined to be the final Falcon model has also been added with front parking sensors and a reversing camera now standard in all models as well as an upgraded version of the Ford SYNC infortainment system including an 8-inch colour touch screen. There’s now also a new Wi-Fi hot spot capability, a second USB socket and new DAB+ digital radio.

Stying changes include new alloy wheel designs and new graphics across the range as well as new front fascia, badging, headlamps and daytime running lights on G6E and XR6 models.

The prices of the entry-level Falcon Ute have increased by $800 although that is more than offset by the inclusion of climate control air conditioning, a $2000 option in the FG Mark II. The XR6 Utes are all down by between $1380 and $3750.
