Following an extended promotional buildup, Suzuki Australia has introduced the special-edition Jimny Rhino, complete with standout styling and a comprehensive collection of branded accessories for buyers.

Starting at $44,990 before on-road costs - $7500 above the regular top-spec Jimny XL automatic - this limited-run variant is derived from the five-door Jimny XL and restricted to 250 examples. Customer deliveries are expected to begin on July 1, 2026.

The Rhino name makes its Australian debut here, having previously featured on tougher-looking limited versions of the Jimny in other markets.

Similar to those international models, the Australian Jimny Rhino includes only visual modifications and special badging without any mechanical alterations. Buyers do receive a unique Rhino Go Pack filled with branded merchandise items.

Kinetic Yellow paint stands out as the headline feature for the Jimny Rhino, a vibrant shade formerly limited to the three-door version outside Queensland, combined with a contrasting black roof. This remains the sole colour choice for the model.

Side graphics incorporate a charging rhino design along with dual stripes intended to suggest mountain roads and an adventurous spirit. Each graphic concludes with Japanese katakana characters spelling rhino as a tribute to the vehicle's Japanese roots, despite the five-door XL being produced in India. Additional changes feature satin silver garnishes on the side skirts and front bumper, a heritage-style grille, plus Suzuki-branded mud flaps at both ends.

New 15-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels showcase a Shuriken-inspired pattern that suggests motion even when stationary, complemented by a prominent Rhino badge on the tailgate.

Inside, diffused LED lighting helps illuminate the ground for easier entry, while the cabin receives matching cosmetic updates. Black leather covers the door handles and passenger grab handle with contrast stitching and laser-etched Rhino logos. Satin silver trim accents the air vents and gear selector area, and manual versions include a retro-style shift knob.

Kinetic Yellow forms part of an eight-colour ambient lighting selection that now includes footwell illumination paired with custom rubber floor mats bearing the Jimny logo. Extra Rhino badging appears on the dashboard, and the audio system upgrades to a four-speaker Pioneer unit.

The Rhino Go Pack provides buyers with an assortment of adventure-oriented merchandise. Highlights include a metal key case, keychain, blanket, thermos tumbler and cooler box, all Rhino-branded, plus a bucket hat, portable lantern, drink bottle and Bluetooth speaker featuring special-edition logos. A box of Koko Black dark chocolate pistachio pralines arrives in custom Rhino packaging.

No mechanical revisions accompany the visual changes. Power comes from the standard 1.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine delivering 75kW and 130Nm, available with either a four-speed automatic or five-speed manual transmission. Both pair with part-time four-wheel drive and low-range gearing, while a full-size spare remains mounted on the tailgate.

Standard equipment encompasses a 9.0-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, cloth upholstery and a leather-wrapped steering wheel, along with automatic LED headlights and heated mirrors.

Orders are now open nationwide except in Queensland and northern New South Wales river regions.
