Ford Falcon BA 2002-2005

The Ford Falcon BA was a full-size car manufactured by Ford Australia from 2002 to 2005. It was the first Falcon to be entirely developed and produced in Australia, and was available in sedan, ute, and wagon body styles. The BA Falcon was a popular car in Australia, and was the best-selling car in the country in 2003 and 2004.

The BA Falcon was based on the Ford BA platform, which was also used for the Ford Territory SUV. The Falcon was powered by a range of inline-six and V8 engines, and was available with either a manual or automatic transmission. The BA Falcon was known for its spacious interior, comfortable ride, and strong performance.

The BA Falcon was facelifted in 2004, with changes to the front and rear styling, as well as the interior. The facelift also saw the introduction of a new XR6 Turbo variant, which was powered by a turbocharged inline-six engine.

The BA Falcon was discontinued in 2005, and was replaced by the Ford Falcon BF.
