What Are the Key Differences Between the AllGrip Plus and the Rhino Plus?
The AllGrip Plus serves as the base off‑road variant with the ALLGRIP PRO 4WD system and essential equipment. The Rhino Plus adds a comprehensive accessory package that enhances both aesthetics and off‑road functionality. According to the Careta.my source, the Rhino Plus includes a distinctive front grille, rugged body cladding, a roof rack and additional underbody protection. These additions make the Rhino Plus ready for more extreme off‑road conditions straight from the showroom.
“The Rhino Plus package transforms the Jimny into a more purposeful off‑road machine, catering to enthusiasts who want a factory‑backed customised look without voiding the warranty.”

“The Rhino Plus variant includes a roof rack, front skid plate and extended wheel arch cladding, giving it a more aggressive stance and improved protection on uneven trails.”
How Does the ALLGRIP PRO System Work in Malaysian Conditions?
Suzuki’s ALLGRIP PRO is a part‑time 4WD system with a low‑range transfer gear, allowing drivers to switch between 2H (rear‑wheel drive for fuel efficiency), 4H (high‑range 4WD for slippery surfaces) and 4L (low‑range 4WD for steep climbs and descents). In Malaysia, where sudden downpours can turn unpaved roads into mud traps, the low‑range mode provides the necessary torque multiplication. The system is mechanically operated via a floor‑mounted lever, which is simple and reliable compared to electronic dials.
“The Jimny’s low‑range mode multiplies torque by approximately 2.6 times, enabling it to crawl over obstacles that would stop many crossover SUVs.”
Who Is This For in Malaysia?
The Suzuki Jimny AllGrip Plus and Rhino Plus are ideal for Malaysian drivers who need a compact vehicle for daily commutes in congested cities like Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya, yet demand genuine off‑road capability for weekend getaways to destinations like Frasers Hill, Endau‑Rompin or the beaches of Cherating. Its diminutive size (under 3.7 metres long) makes it easy to park in tight condominium car parks, while the ladder‑frame chassis and high ground clearance allow it to confidently tackle potholed roads, speed bumps and occasional floods. The Jimny is also popular among second‑car buyers who want a hobby vehicle for 4x4 expeditions, and among rural dwellers in Sabah and Sarawak who require a durable, go‑anywhere vehicle.
“With a turning radius of just 4.9 metres and a height of 1.72 metres, the Jimny can navigate multi‑storey car parks and narrow lorongs that larger SUVs cannot access.”
Common Questions
Does the Suzuki Jimny AllGrip Plus come with a manual transmission option?
Yes, Suzuki Malaysia offers the Jimny AllGrip Plus with either a 5‑speed manual or a 4‑speed automatic transmission. The manual variant provides more control for off‑road driving and is slightly lighter, potentially offering marginally better fuel economy.
What additional features does the Rhino Plus have over the AllGrip Plus?
The Rhino Plus adds a roof rack, front and rear skid plates, extended wheel arch cladding, a unique grille design and Rhino Plus badging. These additions are factory‑fitted and covered under the standard vehicle warranty.
Is the Suzuki Jimny fuel‑efficient for daily Malaysian driving?
Suzuki claims a combined fuel consumption of 13.3 km/L, which is average for a petrol SUV of this size. In real‑world Malaysian mixed driving, owners can expect between 10 to 12 km/L, depending on traffic conditions and driving style.
