The Suzuki Jimny Rhino Edition arrives with purely cosmetic changes including the new Rhino decals and a vintage grille. The decal theme extends to the bonnet and doors, while the spare wheel cover gets the Rhino theme as well, along with red mud flaps. Suzuki Malaysia has added a few usable upgrades with the new protection panel for the differential along with additional side and front bumper with aluminium cladding.

Inside the cabin, the Jimny Rhino edition gets DLX (deluxe) floor mats and an all-black colour scheme carried over from the standard version. Other notable features include the touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth connectivity as well as 50:50 split seats at the rear, which can fold flat and make way for a flat load bed.

The Malaysian-spec Jimny 3-door draws power from the familiar 1.5-litre petrol engine tuned for 101 bhp and 130 Nm of peak torque. It is offered with only the automatic transmission on the Rhino edition with Suzuki’s AllGrip Pro 4WD system as standard.

The limited edition model is priced at 174,900 Malaysian Ringgit (approx. 30.6 lakh). While the Rhino edition is restricted to just 30 units, existing buyers can order the visual upgrades as an add-on kit for the Jimny. The limited edition could certainly inspire buyers of the Jimny 5-door in India who are now taking deliveries, especially with the very cool retro grille.
