Ashok Leyland STiLE (or STiLE) was a minivan manufactured by Ashok Leyland. The vehicle was unveiled during the 2012 Auto Expo and was launched in July 2013. STiLE was produced as a "minivan" to be used as a commercial vehicle (hotel shuttles, taxi, ambulances, panel van, courier service, inter-city) and for intra-city travel. In May 2015, Ashok Leyland stopped production of the vehicle due to low demand for the model.[1][2][3][4]
History
The STiLE was unveiled during 2012 Auto Expo and was launched in July 2013. The vehicle was a badge engineered Evalia platform and it was manufactured the same plant as that of the Evalia. STiLE was manufactured as a MPV for urban conditions. In the Auto Expo (2012), the prototype STiLE had Ashok Leyland's 1.5-liter engine which was later replaced by K9K (a family of straight-4 turbocharged diesel engines co-developed by Nissan and Renault) that powers the Evalia. Unlike the Evalia, which produced 85 bhp, STiLE produced 75 bhp. The company had initially planned to introduce a compressed natural gas (CNG) engine along with the conventional diesel engine.[1]
In May 2015, Ashok Leyland stopped production/discontinued the vehicle due to low demand for the model.[2]
Variants
Although Ashok Leyland had originally announced two different engine types (CNG and diesel), STiLE was manufactured only with diesel engines. STiLE had three variants: LE, LS and LX. All three variants had same engine displacement, bhp and specifications except for seating capacity (LE had 8 seats whereas other two variants had option between 7 and 8 seats) and alloy wheels given as an option with LS and LX variants.[4]
