The 1992-1996 model years, specifically addressed by the workshop manual, marked the final phase of the XJS's production run, showcasing a refined and evolved iteration of the model. These later XJS models featured a more angular and modern aesthetic, departing from the classic E-Type's flowing lines. This update included revised front and rear fascias, updated interior materials, and a more spacious cabin.
