Though the basic shape of the car is no different than the Nissan Evalia, the Stile does look different thanks to new headlights, the grille and front bumpers. The rest of the car is the same as the Evalia though.

The Askhok Leyland Stile MPV is a rebadged and a slightly restyled Nissan Evalia and the car comes courtesy of the joint venture between Ashok Leyland and Nissan which will also result in the birth of new LCVs in future.

The car is being tested through out the country and it has been caught testing in Chennai by the good folks back at Indian Autos Blog and the car is being tested with a slight camouflage up front. The car gets a resytled front fascia as compared to the Nissan Evalia and the car was showcased at the 2012 Delhi Auto Expo. It will be slotted below the Nissan Evalia with the main target being the cab operators and BPOs.

The Nissan Evalia has been somewhat of a dud seller in India and the car has never really managed to get the sales going. The Stile will get single tone grey or black interiors instead of the dual tone interiors found on the Evalia and the car’s tail lamps would get slighlty tweaked as well when compared to the Evalia. The Stile would look bog similar to the Evalia from the side profile.

The Stile will be powered by the same 85BHP-200NM engine found on the Sunny, Scala, Duster and Evalia. The engine has already proven itself in the Indian market and needs no introduction. The car will be aimed at urban buyers too and the ones looking for a good family car might go in for it too because the car offers a lot of space as well. This is the first passenger vehicle from Ashok Leyland and with the right pricing, it might just strike a chord with the Indian buyers.
