Naza Eastern Motors has launched the new Suzuki Jimny Rhino Edition, which is a new variant of the compact off-roader that is limited to 30 units and priced at RM174,900 on-the-road without insurance.
The Rhino Edition comes with a Pure Pearl White paint finish as well as exclusive styling touches like red, grey and black decals on the bonnet as well as the sides of the vehicle. You’ll notice the ‘Real Offroader’ wording and rhino graphics as well, the latter being a callback to the logo used on the second-generation SJ Jimny more than four decades ago.
For a bit of history, the use of the rhino logo came about after British importers received units of the SJ Jimny with plastic spare wheel covers that carried a drawing of a rhinoceros for the 1982 Birmingham Motor Show. The distributors found the horned animal appealing and adopted a redrawn logo as a sign of toughness and dependability.
Aside from the decals, the rhino is also featured as a badge on the rear tailgate and rear spare tyre cover. Other features that the Rhino Edition comes with include a heritage grille (without vertical slats), chrome side mirrors, red mud flaps with ‘Jimny lettering’, front and rear differential guards as well as wind deflectors.
According to Naza Eastern Motors, existing Jimny owners can enjoy the same upgrades as the new variant by purchasing the Jimny Rhino Kit worth RM15,000 from the company’s dealership in Petaling Jaya. Do note that some of the items mentioned are also offered through accessory packages sold by the company.
The Rhino Edition shares the same powertrain with the regular Jimny, with a K15B 1.5 litre VVT naturally-aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine providing 100 hp at 6,000 rpm and 130 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. The mill is mated to a four-speed automatic gearbox and a part-time four-wheel drive system with a low-range transfer box.
The kit list is also similar, with automatic LED headlamps, 15-inch alloy wheels, a seven-inch touchscreen head unit with Apple CarPlay, two speakers, single-zone automatic air-conditioning, two airbags, ABS, brake assist, stability control, hill start assist and hill descent control.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
It is limited to 30 unit but existing owner can buy the kit and convert? Hahaha typical Naza, totally senseless
100hp and 130NM Torque….at rm 180K with insurance.
I can get double the horsepower n torque with Hilux,more space n load capacity.
Naza is a failed entity when they screwed thousands of Kia,Chevy,peugeot owners who r left in a lurch until replacement distributors took over.
They cant be trusted.Once beaten ,twice shy.180 grand can buy u other better alternatives.
You don’t understand bro. That extra money is paying for something. Naza, with this package comes with hassles, a lot of hassles. Which you won’t get from a Toyota or UMWT.
Imagine those bought 180K recon last 2 years
People buy Jimny not for its power and torque, but rather its classic and timeless look and the endless mods options. It’s a lifestyle car for rich people who probably already owned Alphard, Ranger Raptors, and Ferrari.
your reasoning is stupid and makes no sense. any not price jimny cheaper and let more people buy it?
Brother, Jimny is cheap for the rich, just you are (maybe) not yet in that league to enjoy it. Stop ranting and start working harder.
my point is that jimny can be priced lower to make it affordable for m40 also. why price it exclusively for t20?
and don’t call me brother. do we share the same parents?
your reasoning is stupid and makes no sense. why not price jimny cheaper so that more people can afford to buy it?
Brother, don’t be mad if you cant afford it. Why don’t you complain why ferrari or lambo expensive?
Who said EV is rich man toy? I said who buy Jimmy is the real rich man! Not everyone afford antique!
rm175k is dem cheap.
my Pak Ngah who migrated to Singapore just bought a brand new Jimny there for SGD 154,900 = RM 533, 747 !
Let say your Pak Ngah is an engineer who earn RM8k in Malaysia and then SGD8K in Singapore. 154K is still cheaper than 175K.
Some people is so dumb that they can not understand expenses relative to income. Just keep thinking conversion. Same like stupid Government.
Wah your pak ngah migrate to sg, buy brand new jimny there while working in Malaysia earning Malaysian ringgit?
This thing is so overpriced. I dont blame Suzuki. I blame the damn taxes and Malaysian distributor
Blame Proton for kicking out Suzuki from our market so just to sell the rebadged Ertiga but ends tak laku jugak. Really crazy selfish way of doing business.
Hope that MITI can bring back official Suzuki here (with new non-crony non-parasite jv partner) knowing that no more nonsense craps can ever happen again under new dynamic new govt.
It’s time to pull all the ‘priviledges’ from Proton and Perodua. Proton is no longer a national brand once it used to and Perodua has never been one
175k is enough to get a decent used Toyota FJ Cruiser and mod it for offroading. Still, I think there will be some people with too much money buying this Jimny.
RM175k… better buy a diesel Fortuner.
RM15k accessary on an already overpriced car, you are trying to sell to Ferrari owners for their weekend fishing trips? Well done Naza on your sales strategy.
All that upgrades and still no push start? Kinda low spec to me.
can these accessories legit do what theyre supposed to do? after all its naza
Nice car but not worth the price tag. This car is very outdated with no classic value since so many of it was produced. With the higher demand from consumer, for this price it will not sell well at all. Jimny has always been a poor man’s off road buggy therefore this price tag makes no sense.
Better get EV like BYD and experience what the new modern world has to offer. Times has change
NAZA = dont buy
Hahaha dulu orang beli recon 175k hijau macam sup muntah nangis la hahaha
what kind of specs are these. joker.
Two airbags and two speakers for 175k. Gonna laugh at those who bought this.
This car used to cost just RM70k. Hiw dud it get so expensive. Please do not over protect proton. The gomen should consider putting consumers first priority. Countries that protect rakyats interest normally are best countries to live in.
So naza decided to distribute Suzuki after so many failed attempts in car distributorship
If can bring in this Jimny, why not bring in also affordable vehincle, example like Suzuki XL 7 and Suzuki Ignis.
Other countries, this is affordable vehicle. Here it is a luxury item and priced exorbitantly.
What is happening???
I think the prices of previous gen of Jimny holding up quite well, as the Jimny have strong cult followings…. Current 4th generation Jimny is CBU japan. And is high demand in many markets such as Australia , Thailand , Indonesia , Taiwan , Philippines , etc..the Recond units priced closed (if not higher if you compare years) to the official unit …however Recond units do have extra airbags , lane departure , keyless ..
Its a poor man’s toy. Look at all Jinmy buyers. All poor or retired.They can’t afford better 4wd and there are no other options at that price range. That is why got some follower. A quick look at the Jinmy Malaysia FB community only shows 1k plus follower. Not big
