Can the Bada Dost i4 LX manage the notorious Indian roads and traffic?

I do believe the claims are a little overboard. It is fuel efficient, but no more so than some competitors. Consistently getting about 12-13 km/l is good, but not revolutionary.

The eco mode does actually make a difference. I do get 1–1.5 km/l extra when I stick to it religiously. At first you need to get used to it, but it is worth it in the long run.
The Ashok Leyland Stile CNG was a missed opportunity in the Indian market?

Absolutely! Such a CNG version could have been a game changer. In times of rising fuel costs, a CNG Stile would have been perfect for taxi fleets and commercial use.

I disagree. The main problem with the Stile was not the lack of a CNG option but the car’s unconventional design. It might not have even succeeded even with CNG.

It's hard to say. Had CNG been of any help, the Stile would still have found it difficult to stand out in the crowd, as it was competing with established players like Maruti Suzuki Ertiga and Toyota Innova.

I believe it was a missed opportunity. For commercial use, CNG vehicles are very popular in metros. That was a market that Ashok Leyland could have capitalized on.

Maybe, but timing is everything. In 2013, the CNG infrastructure was not as developed as they are now. That may not have changed much back then.

It was already on the high side of the pricing of the Stile. It would have been even more expensive as a CNG variant and therefore less appealing.

I think that it could have worked if marketed well. The CNG Stile could have been a good bet for Ashok Leyland to leverage its strong presence in the commercial vehicle sector.

Nevermind that the Stile was based on the Evalia, which also failed. The CNG option may not alone have saved it.

They should ensure that it is a rugged, reliable workhorse. Further Add: GPS tracker and fleet management system to commercial users.

Would be electrification I’d say they need to go all in. An electric Stile with a decent range can be a game changer for intra city logistics or taxi service operations.

How about a modular interior? It would be unique in the segment for something that can be easily converted from passenger to cargo configuration.

Before anything else, they need to get their basics right – a better build quality, a reworked engine, and a reduction in NVH levels. Then combine with modern tech such as a huge touchscreen and connected car features.

Considering that Ashok Leyland specializes in commercial vehicles, they could be a USP for them to extend the warranty period and lower the maintenance cost. That would be attractive for fleet operators.

I would say they should put it in the position of a mini-ambulance or mobile clinic. Add the required medical equipment mounts and power outlets. It may be great for rural healthcare.

Can we make it into a mobile office? Add built in 4G hotspot, foldable tables and power outlets. Perfect for on-the-go professionals.
Does the NS160 live up to Bajaj's "Fastest Indian" legacy?
30 January 2025 09:53
It's quick for a 160cc, but calling it the "Fastest Indian" is a stretch. It's more like "The Slightly Quicker Than Average Indian."
Does the NS160 live up to Bajaj's "Fastest Indian" legacy?
30 January 2025 09:53
For its segment, it's pretty fast. You can't expect 220cc performance from a 160cc engine, but it holds its own against competitors.

The NS160 is more about handling than straight-line speed. It might not be the fastest, but it's definitely one of the most fun to ride in its class.
