The KS Verada, like it's TS Magna brother was a mid-life facelift for the second generation family.

Compared to the KR, externally the KS had a smaller front bumper, split grille and parabolic headlights. The rear gained a body-coloured rear facia. On the inside, the KS had updated interior fabrics to "modernise" the vehicle.

As with the KR, the Ei was available in both sedan and wagon form, while the Xi was available as a sedan only.

Equipment was up on the KR, with the Ei now coming standard with engine immobiliser, ABS, 6 speaker CD player and alloy wheels in addition to the climate control, cruise control, power mirrors, power steering, power windows, dash mounted analog clock and imitation wood panelling that was available on the KR. A driver's side airbag became optional on the Ei.

The Xi included everything that the Ei featured (including airbag) as well as two-tone paint, power sunroof, ETACS alarm system and electric seats.

In December 1995, a limited edition of 81 manual and 99 automatic "Ei touring wagons" were built. These were built to celebrate the Magna/Verada's export success. The touring wagon featured everything the Ei had as well as a trip computer and sunroof. To date the touring wagon has been the only manual Verada built.
