Ashok Leyland Stile MPV unveiled

After unveiling of Datsun GO hatchback yesterday, Carlos Gohsn CEO of Renault-Nissan along with Mr. G P Hinduja, Chairman of Hinduja Group unveiled Nissan Evalia based Ashok Leyland Stile. Ashok Leyland Stile is basically the Evialia with a rebadging.

Ashok Leyland stile bears a new front end which looks basic as compared to Evalia. Apart from the front end there is no visible changes in the exterior. The reflector on the tail gate too has been carried over from Evalia. Interiors too are similar except for Ashok Leyland badge on the steering wheel.

Ashok Leyland Stile is aimed at commercial/fleet operators. It will compete with MPVs like Chevrolet Tavera, Mahindra Xylo, Toyota Innova and indeed with the Nissan Evalia. The Stile is powered by same Renault’s K9K diesel engine which has been detuned for lower power delivery of 75 Bhp. The company calls it a ‘Diet’ as it the main focus was on fuel efficiency. The engine propels the front wheels through a 5 speed manual transmission.

Couple of test mules have been spied on Bangalore-Chennai highway recently. Expect Ashok Leyland Stile to launched soon and priced very competitively as it is mainly aimed at commercial operations. 

V Sumantran, Vice Chairman, Ashok Leyland and Chairman, Nissan Ashok Leyland Powertrain Ltd said “Right from the outset, we were determined not to remain a one product/platform or niche player in the LCV space. Following the successful run of the DOST, we are now delighted to present our brand-new vehicle on an award-winning platform that reflects our continued focus on offering Japanese Technology and Quality at Indian Cost. With the STILE also in our portfolio, we are now better positioned to cater to a wider range of needs, and at the same time, address the growing expectations of the Indian consumer.”

Datsun returns back with hatchback 'GO'

Datsun today unveiled its first car for the 21^st century, named GO in New Delhi. Datsun GO, a 5 door hatchback  marks the return of Datsun brand after 32 years. The name Datsun GO is inspired from Datsun’s first car DAT GO, launched way back in 1914 in Japan. 

The All new Datsun GO was unvield by none other than President and CEO of Nissan Motor, Mr. Carlos Gohsn. He said - “This is a historic day for Nissan Motor Company and for our customers and partners in some of the world’s fastest-growing markets. It’s also an exciting moment for many women and men here in India who – today – come one step closer to realizing the dream of purchasing a car,”.

Datsun GO will be on sale from early next year. According to Industry experts, GO is likely to be priced around Rs. 4 lakh, where as Rs. 3.5 lakh price target cannot be ruled out because of the competition for which the brand Datsun has been revived. The car shares the same platform of Nissan Micra with 2450 mm of wheelbase, but the overall length of GO is more than Micra which means there is lot more space in the offereing. The interiors have been designed to please the Indian customers with practicality being more importance. However some bits like Aircon vents and door handles have been borrowed from the Nissan Micra.

The interesting fact, which we have mentioned in our earlier post is, the gear lever and hand brake has been moved to the dashboard. Datsun says the space between the front seats are to keep some utilities like ladies hand bags, but we feel a child can be squeed in to making it a 3 seater front row. The cabin space is big enough to accommodate 5 adult is good comfort. The rear bench is wider and so do the leg room which is good for tall occupants.

Datsun is Nissan 3^rd brand after Nissan itself and Infinity. The Datsun brand is expected to drive Nissan’s Power 88 mid-term business plan. Nissan aims to gather 10% of Indian passenger market by 2016-17. The man behind all these Mr. Carlos Gohsn is indeed serious on India. He has been trying every possible trick to make India a hub for Renault and Nissan cars. We wish him all the best for his plans.
