History
The STiLE was unveiled during India's 2012 Auto Expo. It was launched on July 16, 2013. The vehicle was a modified Evalia platform and it was manufactured the same plant as that of the Evalia. STiLE was manufactured as a MPV for urban conditions. The prototype STiLE unveiled at the Auto Expo had Ashok Leyland's 1.5-liter engine which was later replaced by the 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 (63 kW), STiLE produced 75 bhp (56 kW). The company had initially planned to introduce a compressed natural gas (CNG) engine along with the conventional diesel engine. On February 27, 2015, an Ashok Leyland representative said that there were plans to relaunch the STiLE. In May 2015, Ashok Leyland shut down production of the vehicle due to low demand.
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.
