How does Ashok Leyland Dost Plus LX perform on hilly terrain against its competitors?

I don’t think the mileage claims are quite realistic. In heavy city traffic with frequent stops, I am getting around 15 kmpl. Not bad, but not as advertised by any means.

I am actually exceeding the claimed mileage on my routes as a rural milk distributor. Averaging 20-21 kmpl on open roads. How you drive and maintain the vehicle is all that matters.

The mileage is okay but not reliable. In some trips, I am getting around 19 kmpl, and in some, it comes down to 14–15 kmpl. It seems very sensitive to driving conditions and load.

The fuel efficiency is a pleasant surprise. It gives a very consistent 18 kmpl even with a full load. My previous vehicle was a significant cost saver for my business.

For someone who does long haul trips, the fuel efficiency is excellent. On highway runs, I am very close to 19 kmpl. It also has lower city mileage, but still impressive for its class.

I believe the mileage claims are a stretch. In Mumbai traffic I’m barely hitting 15 kmpl. However, let’s be real, Ashok Leyland, even if it’s economical.

One of the best features of this vehicle is fuel efficiency. I am consistently getting 17-18 kmpl, which is huge for my small delivery business. About 19.6, but not quite, which makes me happy.

Absolutely worth it! I have used the Dost Plus LX for more than a year to supply vegetables for my business and it has been a huge impact. It's no joke on fuel efficiency - I'm using a ton less of diesel than my old vehicle.

Eh, I'm not so sure. On paper, the specs look good, but I have had some issues with the suspension. It’s not as smooth as I thought, especially when fully loaded. Maybe I just got a lemon?

This depends on what your needs are. For city deliveries, it's fantastic. However, if you are going long haul then you might want to go for something that has a little more in the way of comfort features for the driver.

I think it's overhyped. It has a good payload, yes, but the after sales service is a nightmare. Simple parts have taken weeks to arrive. Not good when it comes to your business and the vehicle.

For a fleet owner, I would say it’s a good choice. The initial cost is high, but the maintenance is very low and the value of the product goes up when you resell it. All I’ll say is make sure you have a good service center nearby.

I am on the fence with this one. However, I have heard some complaints about AC performance in really hot weather, but the Dost Plus LX is very maneuverable in tight city streets. If you are in a tropical area, this is something to consider.

I would say it’s a no brainer for small business owners. Just fuel efficiency alone makes it worth it. Also, the larger loading area than competitors means fewer trips, which is a huge time saver.

I moved from Tata Ace to Dost Plus LX and, to be honest, I am impressed. It feels much better in terms of build quality and handles heavier loads with ease. It just wished the cabin had a little bit more storage space.

It's good, but not great. The mileage is very impressive but I've had issues with the electrical that have been a pain to deal with. However, if Ashok Leyland can improve their quality control, it would be a top notch vehicle.

I have used various LCVs and Dost Plus LX is surely in the top tier. It’s hard to beat the balance of payload, mileage and performance. If you are accustomed to other brands, just be prepared for a bit of a learning curve.
What are the customization options available in terms of specific business needs for the Ashok Leyland Dost Plus LS?

The Dost Plus LS is surprisingly customizable. I included a refrigeration unit for my dairy business, which worked out great. The extra weight fed into the vehicle and it took it well and it didn’t as hard on fuel efficiency as I was afraid it would.

Customisable options are ok to some extent, but not cool enough. I was looking for a specialized rack system for my plumbing business and it was quite a hassle to find compatible parts. Had to get some custom fabrication done in the end.

I would say it is about working with Ashok Leyland approved customizers. I did that during my food truck conversion and it turned not only came out good, but didn’t void my warranty.
