This is close to the lowest price for a brand new car in Australia, and the specs aren't too shabby either.

              @tonyjzx: Yeah, Japanese car companies are definitely running off the hype of Japanese made or Japanese branded cars at this point.
              It's basically become a household stable to think anything Japanese branded or made is reliable and will last years and years.
              But at what price point is that worth paying up to?
              I was even reading that the modern Landcruiser's are becoming more of a status statement piece then a good old work horse, just because of how high of a price they are selling for now.

              With the EV chinese made car invasion currently happening, people are realising they can buy cars for just 22k or a bit more or a bit less and get a 7 year warranty, then chuck the car away after.

                @CheapCookie: The Suzuki Ignis and Swifts are genuinely pretty good value. Simple, easy to access designs means cheap to repair and maintain. In fact, they rarely break down as well. At their price points, I wouldn't consider these models overpriced either. This is getting a bit sidetracked from Mahindra which is really the topic here though.

      A lot of FOB Indians say things they don’t necessarily believe simply to sound cool or fit in. There is also a tendency among some to internalise a colonial mindset and succumb to tall poppy syndrome, instinctively dismissing or undermining anything that is successful and distinctly Indian.

      I was an engineer at Suzuki. The cars manufactured and designed there are distinctly Indian.Suzuki might be a Japanese company, but it makes more money in India than in Japan.

        The Alto the Fronx?
        Not sure how proud of those I would be

        • 0
        • mpadre on 12/09/2026 - 22:17

          You don't have to be proud of the Alto or Fronx personally. Suzuki's shareholders probably are — the Alto has sold 4.7 million+ units in India, and the Fronx has already passed 550,000 in just over three years.

          But that wasn't really the point. These cars are designed and engineered for a very price-conscious Indian market, where keeping costs down is critical. The fact that Suzuki then sells essentially the same products in Australia for a considerably higher price is a separate issue — that's about Suzuki's Australian pricing strategy, not the quality, origin or engineering of the cars.

          So if the argument is that Suzuki is price-gouging Australians, blaming the fact that the cars are Indian-designed/manufactured doesn't really make sense. If anything, it makes the pricing difference more interesting.

          And you can't exactly expect Ferrari-level engineering and materials when the entire car is designed to hit a price point that's roughly equivalent to iPhones 18 duo. The engineering objective is fundamentally different: maximise practicality, reliability and value while keeping the manufacturing cost extremely low.

      Very generally speaking, a highly-stressed, tiny displacement turbo engine should give at least 5-ish years before you would be testing your luck.
      This engine is the opposite of a low stressed, large displacement Aussie six, of the type that lasted forever
      I you did buy it, I would suggest also planning to sell it before the warranty ran out

            • King Tightarse on 12/09/2026 - 19:45

              @Brick Tamland: Yes but I was going for a general rule here: (generally) creating power with a small displacement + turbo will not last as long as high displacement (more torque) and no turbo when hauling similar weights. They are of course many, many variables but its a reasonable general point

        as long as they arent wet belts like this amazingly reliable Ford Rangers it should do 7yrs with just standard servicing

        i dont think they would do 7 yrs if it was gonna fuc up on them

        if you are just booting it around town for shops work schools then i think reliability should be ok

      My 24yo has had hers for a year. She was one of the first purchasers.

      Her 2004 Honda Accord Euro Luxury had become (in her opinion) uneconomic to repair and she thought it wouldn't pass the next rego inspection so she sold it for $2500.

      She couldn't be bothered (or had time) looking for something decent 2nd hand and then (we) saw this for $23500 (?) drive away. There was no possibility for negotiation. No free mats. It had at best 15 litres of fuel in it. Tynan Sutherland were their typical a-hole selves.

      She had one problem at 2 months. It wouldn't start. Totally dead. Tynan says it was a flat battery but it took them 10 working days to diagnose and their "fix" was to charge the battery. The after sales service was quite poor. The founder, Michael Tynan (who my family had a fair bit to do with) would have been rolling in his grave.

      Apart from that it's been a great city runabout and she's also done a few trips of several hundred kms. It sits on 110kph just fine.

      If she was buying right now she'd probably get an ATTO 1 because an EV would suit her usage profile better.

      It's no rocket ship. Similar performance as a Yaris Cross Hybrid or an ASX 2.0 NA

      It's like 12 seconds to 100kph

      The new ASX 1.3 turbo is a lot quicker (9 secs) but is $15k more just for the base spec.
      Haval Jolion is also quicker and not a lot more.

      I test drove an emzoom a couple of weeks back. It's a nice car to drive but the boot is tiny (341l).
      I also drove an MG ZS vibe and it has a noticeably larger boot (443l) so it's my preference of the two. The specs for it say 81kW but it felt more powerful than that.
      I'm interested in seeing the boot of this Mahindra, specs say 364l.

          i'd probably agree with him… an Aisin six speed is probably better than a who flung dung DCT… but i mean you're comparing which piece of dog shit smells least bad

            @tonyjzx: If both are dog shit and will last for the 7 year warranty period, might as well get the one that gives more value and car for the money. The transmission isn't the only thing inside the car.

              @shxhshzhz: But the transmission is something you interact with every time you drive the car. It’s fundamental to the experience. It’s not like a slow infotainment that is occasionally irksome to use.

        I'd be going something second hand from an established company over this
