Rhino

TOWING

The Rhino tows loads of up to 3.5 tonnes (3500kgs) with 4WD and automatic transmission and carries loads of 850kg.

ENGINE

Outstanding torque at the low end and maximum torque over a wide operating range provide powerful starts and superb acceleration when passing.

PART-TIME 4WD

Part-time four-wheel drive allows the driver to choose when to activate the system giving optimal traction and handling as needed.

AISIN 6-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

A high ratio spread optimises shift quality under diverse road conditions. Control of changes in speed is solid, enabling the automatic transmission to maintain a smooth shifting feel. The Manual mode (shifting up or down) delivers rapid responsiveness for a more dynamic driving performance.

A BOLD AND RUGGED LOOK UP FRONT

High-tensile-strength steel plate coupled with advanced design methods have improved collision safety while lowering vehicular weight.

• Safety has been elevated by making 60.8% of the frame with advanced high-strength steel and designing an impact-absorbing “crash zone” in front.
• The “crash zone” is designed to absorb the primary impact of a frontal collision.
• The Quad Frame boasts state-of-the-art quadruple-layered construction (with 60.8% advanced high-strength steel) designed to absorb the secondary impact and protect the cabin interior.

CRASH ZONE

The “crash zone” refers to that part of frame that conveys the most shock from a frontal collision to the inside of the cabin. This “box” is designed to absorb that force, thereby protecting the people inside.

THE MOST ADVANCED HIGH-STRENGTH STEEL IN THIS SEGMENT

1. Front bumper beam made with 1.5 GPa ultra-high-strength steel
2. Side member made with 590FB ultra-high-strength steel
3. Cross-member made with 590FB ultra-high-strength steel

SAFETY DRIVING SYSTEM

Various control systems are standing by to respond effectively to any circumstance, ensuring a safe trip. This feature helps prevent roll-back when starting up again from a stopped position on an incline by maintaining brake pressure while the driver’s foot switches between the brake and accelerator pedals.

When a gradient is detected, the system automatically maintains brake pressure for about two seconds (no activation switch is needed).

HILL DESCENT CONTROL (HDC)

A low-speed control system is automatically activated when the vehicle is negotiating a steep downhill gradient, preventing sudden acceleration.

STYLISH AND COMFORTABLE INSIDE

The ergonomic seats ensure a comfortable fit for the users, helping to reduce fatigue on long trips. Handy pockets are built into the doors front and rear to keep maps, water bottles and other essentials within easy reach.

A grip has been installed on the B pillar to assist passengers in back. In front, the center console is equipped with a USB port, power outlet, and pair of cupholders, and cup-holders are also place in the second row.

A BOLD AND RUGGED LOOK UP FRONT

The eye-catching radiator grille with chrome line through the centre establish an unmistakable identity. Front and sides offer a striking blend of muscular lines and curved surfaces; circular fog lamps add a touch of sophistication.  High intensity-discharge headlamps for better night vision. LED daytime running lights, positioning lamps and directional indicators grouped in the upper lamp housing for simplicity.

Shoulder-wing design of radiator grille for greater depth and a dynmaic feel.

Side repeater and puddle lamp mounted on the back of the outside mirror.

PRACTICAL AND DISTINCTIVE BEHIND

The rear is identified by the signature shoulder-wing line and wrap-around tail-lamp assembly. The black rear bumper matches front for balance. Reflex reflectors provide aded visibility to vehicle for safety. The bed is coated with an inner cover for protection, while a foldable tie-down ring is placed at each corner of the truck bed to secure cargo. In addition, an outlet is mounted near the reinforced tailgate to provide electrical power for tools and other devices.
