The TF Magna was a revised version of the [[TE]] Magna released just over 12 months earlier. Most of the changes were made to equipment levels and trim.

Externally the TF was no different to the TE it replaced with the exception of alloy wheel styles and wheel covers. As with the TE, the TF used the [[6G72_24v|24 valve 3.0 Litre V6]] and [[Sirius]] 2.4 Litre 4 cylinder engine.

The TF introduced two new variants, the [[Sports]] in August 1997 and the Solara in May 1998. In the TF all Alteras were now V6, there was no longer a 4 cylinder option.

Major changes across the range include:
*Dual airbags became standard equipment on Advance and Altera LS.
*A speed alert unit was installed on all models
*Central locking now had a remote boot opening feature (previously only available on [[KE|Verada]] Xi.
*Pull out cup holders
*New interior trim
*Addition of a telephone harness
