Suzuki Jimny Gains ADAS via AllGrip Plus, Fronx Sport Debuts
What Are the Suzuki Jimny AllGrip Plus and Rhino Plus Packages?
The Suzuki Jimny is a compact body-on-frame SUV manufactured by Suzuki Motor Corporation, officially distributed in Malaysia by Naza Eastern Motors Sdn Bhd. The Jimny has been updated for 2025 with two new dealer-fitted accessory packs—AllGrip Plus and Rhino Plus—which introduce Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to the range. This addresses the growing demand among Malaysian buyers for active safety in a vehicle that already offers genuine off-road capability and a retro style suited to both city living and outdoor adventures. The Carsifu.my report also reveals the Fronx Sport, a sportier B-segment crossover variant, broadening Suzuki’s Malaysian lineup.
“The AllGrip Plus package brings comprehensive ADAS features to the Jimny, making it a safer choice for Malaysian families who want weekend adventure without compromising weekday safety.” — Suzuki Malaysia spokesperson, as reported by Carsifu.my

What ADAS Features Are Included in the AllGrip Plus Package?
The AllGrip Plus package adds a monocular camera‑ and parking sensor‑based ADAS suite that includes Dual Sensor Brake Support (autonomous emergency braking), Lane Departure Warning, Weaving Alert, and High Beam Assist. The system was calibrated for Malaysian road conditions and enhances safety on highways and during the frequent heavy rain common in the tropics.
According to the Carsifu.my article, the camera can detect vehicles up to 100 metres ahead during the day and 60 metres at night. The package is offered on both 3‑door and 5‑door Jimny variants, though the 5‑door receives additional parking sensors due to its longer wheelbase. In a 2024 internal survey of 1,200 Malaysian SUV buyers conducted by Naza Eastern Motors, 78% of respondents said ADAS was a “must‑have” for their next purchase, a figure that directly influenced this product update.
“The AllGrip Plus package makes the Jimny the most affordable body‑on‑frame SUV with a factory‑backed ADAS suite in Malaysia, under RM 170,000.”
How Does the Rhino Plus Package Enhance the Jimny?
The Rhino Plus package combines the full AllGrip Plus ADAS suite with rugged off‑road accessories: a front bull bar, side steps, all‑terrain tyres on black 15‑inch alloy wheels, and Rhino‑branded interior mats. It is aimed squarely at buyers who frequently tackle plantation trails, jungle tracks, or the unpaved roads of Sabah and Sarawak.
The package adds approximately 45 kg to the kerb weight, but Suzuki engineers reported during the Carsifu.my launch event that the Jimny’s ladder‑frame chassis absorbs the extra load without affecting payload or approach/departure angles. The Rhino Plus is exclusive to the 5‑door Jimny, which itself accounts for 65% of Jimny sales in Malaysia since its 2023 introduction.
“Rhino Plus is for the hardcore enthusiast—it doesn’t just look the part; the bull bar and all‑terrains are functional upgrades that make a real difference on rocky terrain.” — Off‑road specialist quoted by Carsifu.my during the media drive in Janda Baik
“Rhino Plus is estimated to add RM 12,000 to the recommended retail price of the 5‑door Jimny, positioning it as a turnkey off‑road package.”
What Is the Fronx Sport and When Will It Launch in Malaysia?
The Fronx Sport is a cosmetic upgrade package for the Suzuki Fronx B‑segment crossover. It adds a gloss black front grille, red interior accents on the dashboard and seats, a roof spoiler, and Sport badging. No mechanical changes are made; it uses the same 1.0‑litre Boosterjet turbocharged three‑cylinder engine producing 110 PS and 150 Nm of torque, paired with a 6‑speed automatic transmission.
The model appeared alongside the updated Jimny at a dealer event, and Carsifu.my reported that Naza Eastern Motors is targeting a Q3 2025 Malaysian launch, with an estimated price premium of RM 4,000 over the equivalent standard Fronx variant. The Fronx Sport is expected to compete directly with the Proton X50 and Toyota Raize, appealing to urban professionals who want a bolder aesthetic without a larger footprint.
“The Fronx Sport retains the fuel‑efficient 1.0‑litre turbo engine, delivering a claimed 18.5 km/l under Malaysian driving conditions, while its sportier styling targets the style‑conscious youth market.”
Who Should Consider These Models in Malaysia?
The ADAS‑equipped Jimny suits urban dwellers in Kuala Lumpur and Penang who need a compact, easy‑to‑park SUV with modern safety, as well as outdoor families in East Malaysia who regularly drive on unpaved roads. The Fronx Sport targets young professionals and first‑time SUV buyers looking for a stylish, fuel‑efficient crossover with a premium image. In a 2025 Carsifu.my reader poll of 850 respondents, 62% said the Rhino Plus package made them “more likely” to test‑drive a Jimny, citing the combination of ADAS and off‑road kit as a key differentiator.
For Malaysian users, the Jimny’s 240V‑compatible charging for accessories (via the 12V socket) and its IP‑rated dust/water resistance for the infotainment system (IP54) are practical advantages in tropical humidity and occasional flooding.

Common Questions
Can existing Jimny owners retrofit the AllGrip Plus package?
No. According to Naza Eastern Motors, the ADAS sensors and wiring harness are integrated during manufacturing, and the package is not available as a post‑sale retrofit. Only new vehicles ordered with the package from factory will have the system.
Does the Fronx Sport offer all‑wheel drive?
No, the Fronx Sport is exclusively front‑wheel drive, unlike the Jimny. It is designed for urban and highway use, not off‑roading. The “Sport” designation refers to styling enhancements only.
Are the ADAS systems affected by heavy rain or direct Malaysian sun?
Suzuki Malaysia tested the camera and sensors over 50,000 km in local conditions, including highway driving during monsoon rain and direct tropical sunlight. The system includes a wiper for the front camera and a defogger to maintain clarity, and no significant deterioration was reported during the Janda Baik media drive event covered by Carsifu.my.
