Ashok Leyland Stile LX 7 Seater (Alloy) (Diesel) Updates

Wednesday, 27 May 2015 02:36 PM The Ashok Leyland Stile LX 7 Seater (Alloy) (Diesel) was initially planned to be relaunched, but production was halted in May 2015 due to low demand. Despite this, the vehicle remains notable for its use in commercial and intra-city travel. I think its versatility was one of its strongest points, even if it didnt gain much traction in the market.

Wednesday, 27 May 2015 01:32 PM Despite its production halt, the Stile LX remains a notable example of collaboration between Ashok Leyland and Nissan, showcasing the potential of badge-engineered vehicles in the Indian market. I think such collaborations can bring innovative products to the market.

Friday, 27 February 2015 11:09 AM Ashok Leyland had plans to introduce a compressed natural gas (CNG) engine for the Stile, but it was never implemented due to the vehicles early production halt. This would have made the Stile more environmentally friendly and cost-effective. I think this could have been a game-changer for its market appeal.

Tuesday, 16 July 2013 06:09 PM During its production, the Stile LX was powered by a 1.5-liter K9K diesel engine, producing 75 bhp and 185 Nm of torque. This engine was shared with the Nissan Evalia but had slightly reduced power output. The engines efficiency was a highlight, making it suitable for urban conditions.

Tuesday, 16 July 2013 04:17 PM The Ashok Leyland Stile LX featured a 5-speed manual transmission and a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. It had a wheelbase of 2,725 mm and a curb weight of 1,426 kg, making it a compact yet capable MPV. I believe its compact size was an advantage in congested city roads.

Tuesday, 16 July 2013 10:37 AM The Stile LX had three variants: LE, LS, and LX, with the LX variant offering alloy wheels as an option. The seating capacity varied, with the LE having 8 seats and the LS and LX offering options between 7 and 8 seats. This flexibility made it appealing for different user needs.

Tuesday, 16 July 2013 11:28 PM The Stile LX was manufactured at the same plant as the Nissan Evalia and was based on the Evalia platform. This shared platform helped in reducing production costs and leveraging existing technology. Its interesting to see how badge-engineering can impact vehicle development.

Tuesday, 16 July 2013 10:20 AM The vehicle had a top speed of 110 km/h and met BS-IV emission norms, making it compliant with Indian regulations at the time of its launch. Its performance was adequate for its intended use as a commercial and intra-city vehicle.

Tuesday, 16 July 2013 05:36 PM The Stile LX was designed to be versatile, suitable for various applications such as hotel shuttles, taxis, ambulances, and courier services. Its practicality was one of its key selling points, even if it didnt achieve widespread adoption.

Thursday, 05 January 2012 09:08 PM The Ashok Leyland Stile LX was unveiled at the 2012 Auto Expo, generating significant interest due to its unique design and potential uses. However, it failed to capture a substantial market share, leading to its eventual discontinuation. I believe the timing and market conditions played a crucial role in its lack of success.
