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

STiLE was unveiled during 2012 Auto Expo and was launched in July 2013. The vehicle was based on the Evalia platform and it was manufactured the same plant as that of the Evalia. STiLE was manufactured as a minivan 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 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 of the vehicle due tp 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]
