The Indian company entered the car business in 1947 when it began building a version of the iconic military Jeep for civilian consumption. Today it's a large multinational company based in India and one of the country's largest carmakers. Imported by Mahindra Australia the company offers a small range of utes and an SUV wagon. The Pik-Up is available as a ute or cab-chassis, with options of dual and single-cab, and two or four-wheel drive. The Genio cab-chassis is also available in dual and single-cab versions, with the choice of two and four-wheel drive. Along with the utes Mahindra also offers the diesel-powered XUV-500 SUV wagon, with a choice of front and all-wheel drive.
There are much better vehicles available in the Australian car market than the Mahindra XUV500. Even low-mileage second-hand four-wheel-drive SUVs would be my suggestion.

It won’t be a gearbox fault, and it won’t be air in the fuel. It’s happening on first starts, so look for something that’s amiss with it during the cold start phase. It’s probably not getting the required enrichment. Check the engine sensors.

There is zero chance of the e2o coming to Australia. The cost to certify it would be prohibitive, if it even complies with Australian Design Rules on safety. The government is doing zero to help car makers, which is why the excellent Nissan Leaf costs too much for anyone to give it a go.
