My first thought was it being because of the passenger airbag in the s4 and up, but that can’t be right since all the airbag triggers would be the same I assume. And afaik the high trim s1-3 had a passenger airbag anyway?

Anyway, I had a look at some photos, and the only difference I can maybe see is that the S4 bar angles upwards slightly around the headlights, to match Nissan’s attempt at a more “aggressively angled” front end, whereas the S1-3 bar stays flat all the way across, same as the 1-3 grille and lights? I might be seeing things, but it looks like that to me anyway.

S1-3: flat across grille and lights

S4 onwards: slight angle to match profile of later lights and grille:

Again, I might be seeing things, and I can’t see why it would make it more expensive, but that’s what I noticed anyway.

Out of curiosity, where are you looking for the price?
I just had a look on Outback Equipment’s website and they both have the same base price, just for some reason the S1-3 is on a 10% discount and the S4+ is on a 6%:

Not to bring the thread too far off topic, but I've only seen a couple videos by him, and I agree, I don't like his condescending tone towards anything 4wd related, essentially calls anyone who modifies their 4wd a bogan, and I completely lost all respect for him after his video on snorkels. Self righteous is certainly the right word for it.
Literally the first sentence of the video and I don't want to see him again
