• 4.0L Inline-Six (AJ16): An inline-six cylinder engine that evolved throughout this period. It is considered more reliable and less expensive to maintain than the V12.
  • 1993: 219 hp
  • 1994: 223 hp
  • 1995–1996: 237 hp
• 6.0L V12 (1993–1995): An evolution of the classic V12 engine.
  • 1993: 301 hp (in the XJR-S)
  • 1995: 301 hp 

• Cooling system issues: The cooling system needs regular maintenance, especially on the V12, as radiators are known to clog over time. Neglecting this can lead to overheating and expensive engine damage.
• V12 ignition failures: V12 engines from 1990 to 1992 had a tendency for ignition problems, which could cause raw fuel to enter the catalytic converters and start fires. Later 6.0L V12 models were more reliable.
• Oil leaks: As with many older Jaguars, oil leaks can occur, particularly from the cam-cover gaskets.
• Timing chain wear: On higher-mileage cars with either the six-cylinder or V12 engine, a rattling sound at idle may indicate a worn timing chain.
• Exhaust manifold leaks: Worn-out exhaust manifold gaskets are a common issue for both engine types.
• Electrical gremlins: Older Jaguars are known for their electrical issues, which can include failing relays, corroded wiring, and malfunctioning gauges. 

• Improved reliability: The later cars (1994.5–1996) are generally considered the most reliable XJS models due to Ford’s investments. The AJ16-powered cars are particularly praised for being near “bulletproof” with proper maintenance.
• Maintenance costs: While the 4.0L engine is less expensive to maintain, V12 models can incur significant repair costs. YourMechanic.com estimates that a V12 XJS can have maintenance costs ranging from $914 to over $4,000 for specific service types.
• V12 accessibility: Working on the V12 engine can be difficult due to the large engine bay. Many XJS buyers opt for the 4.0L inline-six due to its greater simplicity and lower running costs. 

• Exterior: These facelift models are distinguishable by their revised rear quarter panels and updated taillights. Some later models had galvanized bodies for better rust protection.
• Interior: The interior features high-quality materials such as leather and wood trim. The analog gauges resemble classic Smiths instruments and contribute to the car’s elegant feel.
• Transmission: A 4-speed automatic transmission was standard on most models, while a 5-speed manual was available on earlier 4.0L cars. The later 6.0L V12 models were fitted with a more robust GM 4L80E transmission.
• Brakes: The notorious and hard-to-service inboard rear brakes were moved to an outboard position beginning in 1993, simplifying maintenance.
