In 1995 the VS Senator was introduced based on the VS Commodore. This model saw slight revisions to the body styling, trim and new alloy wheels.

The VS Series II saw the fitment of HSV’s ISS (Integrated Security System) as standard as well as new steering-wheel mounted stereo controls.

There remained a choice of two models: the 185i and the 215i. The 185i had the 5.0-litre (4987 cc) V8 engine which pushed out 185 kW (248 hp) at 4800 rpm.

The 215i had the 5.7-litre (5737 cc) V8 engine which delivered 215 kW (288 hp) at 4800 rpm.

The total number that were built by December 1995 was 416, down 439 units over the VR.
