The Ford Falcon EcoLPi becomes the first LPG-powered vehicle to win one of the prestigious awards, taking out the Best Large Car Under $60,000 category. The victory is significant in that the Falcon tackles a number of key concerns facing consumers in the marketplace - especially in the large car segment. NRMA motoring expert, Trent Nikolic said the Falcon was easily the top pick of the bunch this year. "It's great to see an LPG-powered vehicle take the award this year especially when there are so many benefits to using LPG," Mr Nikolic said. "On top of that, LPG burns a lot cleaner than petrol or diesel, which means that the Falcon EcoLPi emits just 203 grams of CO2 per kilometre, compared with 236 in the regular petrol-fuelled Falcon. "It feels exactly like a normal Falcon if not better because it produces more power and more torque earlier in the rev range." Volkswagen was another big winner at the awards, collecting an incredible five categories –one-third of the awards on offer.
