    The best thing is it doesn't have the emergency braking and the lane keep assist crap.

    Mahindra is a proper mainstay in India. Especially rural India where roads are non existent more or less.. Thoroughly solid, reliable and tough. They have been making jeeps under license from 1947 onwards. So their 4x4 DNA is up there with the best of them. Speaking as a person who has owned multiple Mahindra vehicles over the years and indeed own one now as we speak too.

    So Mahindra has plenty of stock at the dealers in Australia, whereas in India, we are waiting for a year. Interesting. They already have a seven seater version and a diesel version, but guess not being shipped to Australia yet. And for people who depend on auto braking and lane keep assist and what not.... learn to drive.
