Visually, the 1991 EB Falcon remained nearly identical to its predecessor, including carrying over the 3.9-litre Ford straight-six engine and four-speed M85LE automatic.

The most noticeable changes were the transfer of the Ford emblem from the tip of the bonnet to the grille and a full-length applique bridging the gap between the tail lights, featuring reversing lamps on both sides of the rear number plate.

The base model now had body-coloured bumpers, and the previously matte black plastic exterior door handles were now given a glossy finish.

[1] Innovation became an evident strength in the EB II: antilock brakes became an option, a Falcon first, and in 1993, a lap sash centre rear seatbelt became standard.

South Australian Police revealed the operational success of "Smartlock" by inviting four professional car thieves to steal either a Holden Calais (VN) or an EB specified with the locking system.

[1] Foam-filled A pillars also featured, which greatly increased crush protection and stiffened the frame, thus helping to reduce noise, vibration, and harshness.

The EB II was the last Falcon to be assembled at the Wiri plant in New Zealand, the ED and onwards series being imported fully built up from Australia.

The Falcon received its own upgrade in 1994 with the addition of small wings on the side of the front air dam, which brought it back into contention.
