The 'E-series' architecture can trace its roots back to 1988 with the. Ford spent A$40 million for the development of the EL. Ford introduced a number of improvements aimed at extending the life of the 'E-series' body while the AU Falcon was being developed. Most of the handling and steering problems with the EF were rectified in the EL. Critics at the time stated the EF Falcon was hard to handle and it felt as if the front suspension of the vehicle wasn’t optimally setup to work with the geometry of the rear end (the AU would be the first Falcon to offer an end).

Ford addressed these concerns making the EL far more responsive than the EF (see ). At launch, it was the only Australian-built car equipped with a driver's standard across the board, with a passenger airbag available as an extra cost option. Facelift and upgrades [ ] Compared to the EF, the most obvious visual change was the return of the front for GLi and Futura models. The grille itself was now elliptical in shape, a trait shared by other Ford models available at the time. The overall effect was to give the front of the car a rounded visual theme, continuing a shift away from the angular aero style of the early 'E-series' models. From the rear, amber indicators were fitted on the base models, with white lenses reserved for the luxury and. The performance models (XR6 and XR8) saw revised quad headlights.

Ford Fairmont wagon. Compared to EB–EF station wagons, ELs are differentiated by white as opposed to amber rear. Interior upgrades came in the form of reshaped seats and, new colour schemes and switches. Third-row seating, a cargo barrier, and preinstalled wiring to accommodate usage were made available as options for the station wagon variants. Additionally, all models were fitted with an advanced known as Smart Tint, which claimed to provide equivalent protection levels of SPF15. For improved vehicle refinement, thicker glass was installed to lessen wind noise and a further insulation was added in the to produce a quieter ride. Engine [ ] The EL introduced only minor running changes to the Falcon's base model, when compared to the radical overhaul presented by the EF.

The introduced in the EF was rolled back to the distributor-style ignition from the due to reliability problems. A divided air induction pipe which led to the throttle was replaced with a single, wider pipe. Engine output remained unchanged at 157 kilowatts (211 hp) and 357 newton metres (263 ftlbf). In October 1997, the fitted to the XR8 sports model was upgraded from 170 kilowatts (228 hp) to 185 (248 hp). Figures were also upped from 398 newton metres (294 ftlbf) to 402 (296 ftlbf). Ford Falcon Futura sedan. Amber rear turn signals on GLi and Futura sedans replaced the white EF lenses.

Handling and braking [ ] The EL brought with it improvements to braking and handling. Speed-sensitive on the Fairmont Ghia made parking more straightforward, without compromising high-speed steering. With the introduction of the new model, buyers could now purchase a Falcon with standard (optional on GLi) featuring the latest 5.3 module. Perhaps the biggest advancement with the EL was the improvements to the handling woes of the EF, with improvements established to the suspension and steering. Engineers at had discovered that by lowering the pivot point of the in the rear suspension by 20 millimetres (0.8 in), that the roll effect which plagued the EF could finally be eliminated.

Previously on EF models, during hard cornering the rear end of the car often felt as if it could not keep up with the front, due to the difference in roll rate between the front and rear suspension. The result of this produced unpredictable at times, where the delayed weight transfer at the rear would seek to damage the integrity of the outside rear tyre grip. This was exaggerated even further in wet weather or on vehicles fitted with poor tyres. Although this problem was addressed to a degree in the EFII update, it was the EL that became the first base level Falcon to feature a rear suspension setup that would complement the precision of steering introduced in the EA Falcon eight years earlier. The improved suspension geometry allowed Ford to soften the on both front and rear on the EL for a more compliant ride, as the driver no longer had roll oversteer to contain. Model range [ ].
