Ashok Leyland Stile Updates

Thursday, 14 November 2024 09:49 AM Ashok Leyland has no current plans to relaunch the STiLE, despite earlier announcements. The production of the STiLE was halted in May 2015 due to low demand. I think this decision is wise given the competitive market and the need to focus on more successful models.

Friday, 25 October 2024 08:28 PM The Ashok Leyland STiLE was initially launched with a plan to introduce a compressed natural gas (CNG) engine, but it was never implemented. The vehicle was only available with a diesel engine during its production run. I believe the CNG option could have been a game-changer in the Indian market.

Monday, 30 September 2024 08:16 PM The STiLE was produced in three variants: LE, LS, and LX, each with the same engine specifications but differing in seating capacity and additional features like alloy wheels. The LE variant had 8 seats, while the LS and LX variants offered options between 7 and 8 seats.

Tuesday, 20 August 2024 01:30 PM Ashok Leyland unveiled the STiLE during the 2012 Auto Expo, and it was launched on July 16, 2013. The vehicle was a rebadged Nissan NV200, produced under license for the Indian market. I think the partnership with Nissan was a good move, but execution was key.

Monday, 15 July 2024 09:25 AM The Ashok Leyland STiLE was powered by a 1.5-liter K9K diesel engine, producing 75 bhp (56 kW), which was less than the Nissan Evalias 85 bhp (63 kW). This engine choice was likely made to optimize fuel efficiency and cost.

Monday, 10 June 2024 10:09 AM The STiLE was designed for various commercial uses such as hotel shuttles, taxis, ambulances, and courier services. Its versatility was one of its selling points, but it didnt quite gain the traction expected.

Monday, 20 May 2024 12:43 PM Despite its potential, the Ashok Leyland STiLE faced significant market challenges, leading to its production being discontinued in May 2015. I believe better marketing and pricing strategies could have helped its success.

Thursday, 25 April 2024 02:20 PM The Ashok Leyland STiLE had a curb weight of 1,426 kg and dimensions of 4,400 mm in length, 1,700 mm in width, and 1,860 mm in height. Its design was aimed at urban conditions and practicality.

Friday, 15 March 2024 03:54 PM The vehicle was assembled in India and used the Nissan Evalia platform. This local assembly was intended to reduce costs and make the vehicle more competitive in the Indian market.

Tuesday, 20 February 2024 11:26 AM Ashok Leyland had planned to relaunch the STiLE in 2015, but those plans never materialized. The company has since focused on other successful models in their lineup. I think this decision allowed them to allocate resources more effectively.
