The record

The F300 competed with the Suzuki Vitara and Jimny and sold well in Europe, Australia and Indonesia (the Feroza to 1999); the Terios of 1997 replaced it in spirit with a monocoque and no low range, and the Rocky name returned in 2019 on a crossover outside the registry.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
