2026 Suzuki Jimny Rhino teased ahead of June reveal in Australia

Key takeaways

• 2026 Suzuki Jimny Rhino teased for Australia, June reveal locked in
• Five-door Jimny XL in Kinetic Yellow with contrasting black roof
• Adds Rhino badging, door graphics and fresh alloy wheel design

Suzuki Australia has teased a new 2026 Suzuki Jimny Rhino with a full reveal scheduled for June and local showroom arrivals expected later in the year. Teaser images show the Rhino as a five-door Suzuki Jimny XL wrapped in Kinetic Yellow with a contrasting black roof.

It is the first time the Rhino name has been used on a Jimny in Australia, though overseas markets have seen the badge applied to rugged-looking special editions in the past.

What's new on the Jimny Rhino

The teaser shots show a graphics package running along the doors, with Rhino branding stamped on the front panels. There is also a fresh alloy wheel design that appears to retain the standard 15-inch sizing and 195/80 tyres.

The Rhino sticks with road-focused rubber rather than dedicated all-terrains, despite the more rugged styling cues. Kinetic Yellow is currently a three-door exclusive outside Queensland, so the colour appearing on a five-door body is a notable shift.

Suzuki has not confirmed whether the Rhino will be a limited run or a permanent fixture in the local lineup.

A playful Suzuki teaser campaign

Suzuki is leaning hard into the mystery. The brand's own communications frame the Rhino as a rare "sighting" rather than a straight product announcement, with the company refusing to confirm specifics.

"The Jimny community in Australia is thriving so yes, news of any new Jimny is hugely exciting," said Suzuki Australia general manager of automobile Michael Pachota. He added that the rumoured variant looks like "the perfect manifestation of the shared spirit of two magnificent beasts: Jimnys and rhinos", while stopping short of confirming anything.

Australia's best-selling Suzuki

The Jimny is comfortably Suzuki Australia's volume leader, accounting for 2,537 of the brand's 4,310 sales between January and April 2026. That is more than half of Suzuki's total volume and well ahead of the Suzuki Swift hatch on 1,034 units over the same period. A new Rhino variant should give the nameplate another lift.

Full details, pricing and final spec land in June with the Suzuki Jimny Rhino set to arrive in Australian showrooms later in 2026.
