Il rinoceronte di Giava è più piccolo del rinoceronte indiano, ed è simile per dimensioni al rinoceronte nero. È l'animale più grande di Giava e il secondo animale più grande dell'Indonesia dopo l'[[Elephas maximus|elefante asiatico]]. La lunghezza del corpo del rinoceronte di Giava (testa compresa) può raggiungere i 2-4 m, e l'altezza gli 1,4-1,7 m. Il peso degli adulti viene variamente indicato tra i 900 e i 2300 kg, ma uno studio per raccogliere misure accurate degli animali non è mai stato condotto e non costituisce una priorità a causa del loro estremo stato di conservazione<ref name="arkive">[http://www.arkive.org/javan-rhinoceros/rhinoceros-sondaicus/ images and movies of the Javan Rhinoceros ''(Rhinoceros sondaicus)''], ARKive</ref>.

Like the Indian rhino, the Sunda rhinoceros has a single horn (the other extant species have two horns). Its horn is the smallest of all extant rhinos, usually less than {{convert|20|cm|in|abbr=on}} with the longest recorded only {{convert|27|cm|in|abbr=on}}. Only males have horns. Female Sunda rhinos are the only extant rhinos that remain hornless into adulthood, though they may develop a tiny bump of an inch or two in height. The Sunda rhinoceros does not appear to often use its horn for fighting, but instead uses it to scrape mud away in wallows, to pull down plants for eating, and to open paths through thick vegetation. Similar to the other browsing species of rhino (the black, Sumatran, and Indian), the Sunda rhino has long, pointed, upper lips which help in grabbing food. Its lower [[incisor]]s are long and sharp; when the Sunda rhino fights, it uses these teeth. Behind the incisors, two rows of six low-crowned [[Molar (tooth)|molars]] are used for chewing coarse plants. Like all rhinos, the Sunda rhino smells and hears well, but has very poor vision. They are estimated to live for 30 to 45 years.<ref name="van Strien" />
