The Ashok Leyland Dost CNG costs about Rs 7.95 lakh to Rs 8.15 lakh ex-showroom. On-road price is higher because RTO tax, insurance and registration get added on top, and those change by state. Ask two or three dealers in your city, because discounts differ.
The Ashok Leyland Dost CNG gives about 14 km per kg. Your actual figure depends on load, road condition and driving style. With a 120 litre tank, that is roughly 1,680 km on one full tank.
Rated payload is 1,208 kg. Gross vehicle weight is 2,545 kg, which is the truck plus the load together. Stay inside this figure. Overloading breaks springs and tyres early and invites fines at the check post.
The Ashok Leyland Dost CNG uses a 1,478 cc cng engine, 45 HP, 105 Nm of torque. It meets BS VI norms.
Gross vehicle weight is 2,545 kg, or about 2.54 tonnes. GVW is the total allowed weight of the truck plus body plus goods, and it decides which licence and permit you need.
It is mainly used for parcel, courier, LPG Cylinder and construction material. If your daily load and route match that kind of work, this truck fits.
It comes with a 5-speed manual gearbox. A manual gearbox keeps the running cost and the repair bill lower, and most workshops can handle it.
Yes, air conditioning is part of the cabin. That matters on long runs in summer, and drivers stay with the job longer when the cabin is comfortable.
It has 4 tyres in a 4x2 layout. Tyre size is 185 R14.
Ashok Leyland gives a manufacturer warranty on this truck. The exact months and kilometre limit change by model and state, so get it in writing from your dealer at the time of booking.
The closest options at this size are TATA Intra V20 GOLD (2,550 kg GVW, from about Rs 7 lakh), Force Trax Crew Van (2,900 kg GVW, from about Rs 8 lakh) and Isuzu D-MAX (2,990 kg GVW, from about Rs 8 lakh). Compare payload, mileage and the service network on your own route before you decide, because those three decide your cost per km more than the sticker price does.
Yes. The Ashok Leyland Dost CNG has a GVW of 2,545 kg, within the 7,500 kg light motor vehicle limit. The Supreme Court ruled on 6 November 2024 that an LMV licence holder may drive a transport vehicle of this weight without a separate transport licence. Hazardous-goods work needs extra qualifications.
