The S4 gives an ARAI certified fuel economy figure of 10.4kpl. The S4 can touch 0-100kph in five seconds and has an electronically limited top-speed of 250kph. The S4 also comes with a sports suspension which can be lowered by 20mm.
The interior gets a leather multi-function sports steering wheel (a flat-bottomed steering-wheel is available as an option), brushed aluminium trim and a driver information system with colour display. The S4 comes with a lighting package that includes xenon headlights with LED tail-lamps.
The S4 is priced at Rs 45.3 lakh (ex-showroom, Maharashtra).
