Ashok Leyland Stile to be launched today

Based on the Nissan Evalia, the Ashok Leyland Stile is designed to be an eight-seater MPV that features a few exterior cosmetic enhancements such as a new grille, headlamps, wheels and a green and blue sticker job along the sides to set it apart from the Evalia. 

The Ashok Leyland Stile will continue to be powered by Nissan’s 1.5 litre dCi diesel engine that is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox and develops 85PS of power and 200Nm of torque. 

The company will also be launching the Stile with a petrol engine, details of which are not known at the moment, though it will be more affordable than the diesel models. 

Keeping in mind the affordability factor, Ashok Leyland will be equipping the petrol-powered stile with a CNG kit for economical commuting. The CNG tank will, however, cut down severely on the boot space of the Stile. The Stile is expected to be priced below the Nissan Evalia and is likely to have stripped-down variants compared to those of the Evalia.
