The Jaguar XJ-S, known affectionately as the XJS, was a grand tourer produced by the British luxury automaker Jaguar Cars from 1975 to 1996. It succeeded the iconic E-Type, carrying the torch for Jaguar's sporty, elegant roadsters. The XJS was initially criticized for its styling, a departure from the E-Type's sleek lines, but it eventually developed a loyal following. The model underwent a significant redesign in 1981, adopting a more angular and modern aesthetic, and further refinements throughout its production run. The 1986-1996 period, covered by the service repair workshop manual, marks a crucial point in the XJS's evolution. The XJS during this period was powered by a range of powerful V12 and V8 engines. The 5.3-liter V12, introduced in 1981, was a hallmark of the XJS, offering a smooth and potent performance with its 262 horsepower. Later models were equipped with the more fuel-efficient 4.0-liter V8, achieving 221 horsepower. The XJS provided a comfortable and luxurious driving experience, featuring leather interiors, air conditioning, and advanced features like a digital instrument panel and cruise control. Though it shared the name with its predecessor, the XJS was a distinct car, offering improved handling, a more refined ride, and a level of luxury that cemented its position as a prestigious grand tourer. The 1986-1996 models, in particular, represent the pinnacle of the XJS's development, incorporating numerous improvements and updates that ensured its enduring appeal.
