The Falcon MkII XT was named the Best Family Car, the all-new Territory TX AWD won the Best Recreational 4WD title and the Fiesta LX three-door was named Australia's Best Small Car.

It is the third successive year a Falcon has secured the Best Family Car award.

"To win one award in Australia's Best Cars is an honour," said Ford Australia President Tom Gorman.

"Winning three is a sensational achievement and just reinforces the pride that everyone in Ford Australia feels with delivering great vehicles."

Australia's Best Cars are judged by representatives from all of Australia's motoring clubs - the NRMA Motoring & Services, RACV, RACQ, RAASA, RACWA, RACT and AANT.

Considered the nation's most consumer-focused motoring awards, they are based on a unique objective scoring system taking into account value for money, design, function and performance.

"It's a fantastic effort for Falcon to win the Best Family Car award three years in succession, particularly when you consider the array of new models rolled out against it in that time.

"We were quietly confident Territory would be a very good vehicle while we were planning it, but to have a vehicle that in its first few months on sale becomes the biggest selling SUV in the country and then takes out a prestigious Australia's Best Car award is a dream come true.

"And we are extremely happy for Fiesta to win the Best Small Car title in only its first year on sale. It's been an award winner with critics around the world, but I'm sure this trophy is right up there in terms of its recognition." Gorman said.
