Suzuki Jimny Rhino Is Coming to WA — Here's What We Know

If you've been watching the Jimny market in WA — and plenty of people are — Suzuki Australia has just confirmed a new special edition is on the way. It's called the Jimny Rhino, and while full details are still thin on the ground, there's enough to get interested.

Suzuki has opened a register-your-interest page on its Australian website, confirming the Rhino nameplate is coming here. Given how quickly Jimny special editions have sold out in the past, it's smart to get your name down early if you're serious.

What Makes the Rhino Different?

The Jimny Rhino isn't a ground-up redesign — it follows the same formula Suzuki has used with Rhino editions in Malaysia, South Africa, and other markets. That means a package of genuine Suzuki accessories bolted on, some unique Rhino badging, and a look that stands out from the standard line-up.

Teaser images confirm side decals, accessory alloy wheels, and mud flaps. For WA drivers who want something a bit more trail-ready straight out of the showroom — without spending big on aftermarket gear — that's a practical proposition. Whether you're heading down to the Kimberley, poking around the Pilbara, or just want something that looks the part on Stirling Highway, the Rhino aesthetic is hard to ignore.

Suzuki hasn't yet confirmed every detail of the Australian-spec Rhino, including whether it'll be offered in the three-door body style. What is clear from the teasers is that the five-door XL variant will be part of the range.

Where Does It Sit in the Current Jimny Line-Up?

The 2026 Suzuki Jimny range currently runs from $31,990 before on-roads for the three-door Lite manual, up to $37,490 before on-roads for the five-door XL automatic. Expect the Rhino to sit at a premium above the standard XL given the accessory content.

For WA buyers, those prices are competitive for a genuine 4WD with a proper ladder-frame chassis and low-range transfer case. This isn't a soft-roader dressed up with plastic cladding — it's a legitimate off-road tool that's also manageable in everyday Perth traffic and cheap enough to run that WA fuel prices won't sting quite as hard.

The updated 2026 Jimny range also brings meaningful safety improvements across both body styles — including updated autonomous emergency braking (AEB), traffic sign recognition, adaptive cruise control, and front and rear parking sensors. That's a solid step up from earlier models and addresses one of the main criticisms buyers had about the previous-generation car.

Suzuki Australia's automotive general manager Michael Pachota put it plainly: "The Jimny community in Australia is thriving so yes, news of any new Jimny is hugely exciting." He's not wrong — used Jimnys in WA regularly hold their value well above comparable small SUVs, which tells you something about demand.

Full pricing and specifications for the Jimny Rhino haven't been released yet. If you want to stay ahead of the queue, registering your interest directly with Suzuki Australia is your best move right now. We'll have more details as they're confirmed.
