The occupants can exit the BTR-4 both via roof hatches and doors at the rear. The driver and the commander leave the armored car through the two doors on the left and right of the vehicle. The BTR-4 diesel engine ЕВРО ІІІ of Deutz equipped, which is offered by the manufacturer with 500 or 600 hp. This enables the BTR-4 to reach a speed of 110 km / h.
