I too have the same problem with my Axio hybrid. Some people say it's normal. Not sure though. ?

My one sounds like a freaking lawn mower at cold starts.

Mine after two years  of daily use and 30k kms still so quiet at cold start that it even allows me to sneak out from the office early without anyone noticing (:D).

I dont think all these new cars are put together right, so many problems in such a short time

If it starts in EV mode yes but usually in the mornings my one sounds like a lawn mower and gradually tones down till EV mode, after that its all history!

So is not there any solution to this?

I've seen a similar issue in Hondas and it was due to a fault in the VVT cam sprocket.

I guess this noise is mainly due to high idling speed during cold start. These atkinson cycle engines goes close to 2k RPM during initial startup for about a minute.

My aqua is going similar from day 0.

Well my Mazda is no hybrid but in mornings the sound scares away my dogs. I guess Vezel sound is lower due to good sound insulation.
