As in the superseded BF II range, the FG Falcon XR6 remains a naturally-aspirated model in a lower specification than the other XR models.

Standard features, over and above the Falcon XT, include a new Tremec six-speed manual transmission as standard -- with the option of either the five-speed automatic or the ZF six-speed automatic transmissions -- and sports suspension.

The exterior is distinguished from the XT by the XR-themed 'double-drop lens' headlight styling, unique front bumper, grille and rockers, front fog lights and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. 

Inside, the XR6 features a sports instrument cluster, sports seats, alloy pedal covers and an aluminium gear shifter on manual transmission models, with reverse camera and reverse sensing systems available as options.
