Introduced in July 1976, the XC was the first model to comply with the new pollution restrictions specified under Australian Style Rule 27A. The response to the first of July 1976, mandatory anti-pollution laws (ADR 27A), was to redevelop the Falcon half a dozen cylinder engines with a cross-flow head for better efficiency.Visually, the XC Falcon was given a restyle treatment. The XC had an less aggressive nose which incorporated two rounded headlights on Falcon models and two rectangular car headlights on Fairmont models.
