2008 Ford FG Falcon G6 specifications

By Alborz Fallah |

The new Falcon lineup now includes a new range of model names, the G6 is the entry into the G Series and is a nod to the “Ghia” nameplate and an extension of the G8 nomenclature used on the outgoing Fairlane range in recent years. The “6″ represents the six-cylinder engine.

The G6 is powered by the same I6 petrol engine found in the XT. It’s mated to a new five-speed automatic transmission with Sequential Sports Shift (SSS) and produces 195 kW at 6000 rpm and 391 Nm of torque.

Although based on the XT, the G6 comes with many additional interior and exterior features. From the outside the G6 receives a unique front bumper and grille, front fog lamps and 17-inch alloy wheels.

  • Duck

    I wonder if the G series will have the same dash and componenets to the falcon like the falcon did to the fairlane

  • Duck

    i have to admit the colours inside look better than in the berlina.

    The Berlina is a much better looking car to this. Although this interior is very very nice.

  • Duck

    Im sorry but i dont like the rear end!

  • King of the mountain

    i dont know weather to get this or keep my 07 fairmont ghia because the trade from the ghia will pay for this and i dont want to pay any extra.

  • INTERIORPICTUREISFAKE

    READ >> That interior picture is false > that is the G6E model not the basic G6. The G6 doesn’t have such a flashy centre console display. The tricky bast***s tried to trick me.

      Yes it does. If you look very closely (click on the pic of the interior) you will see that there is only one set of climate control buttons which means it can’t be a G6E (dual zone climate control). The flashy centre console display comes when you buy the reverse camera as an option in the G6.

      Rented one of these in New Zealand, fantastic car. Really comfortable to be in for many hours and great to drive on the windy roads over there. Also plenty of luggage and interior room for a family of four.
