FAQs on the leyland Saathi
Still have questions?
Ask about on-road price, variant specs, dealers near you or finance. The trucks-india.com desk replies within one working day.
The Ashok leyland Saathi costs about Rs 5 lakh to Rs 6 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 Saathi gives about 20 kmpl. Your actual figure depends on load, road condition and driving style. With a 40 litre tank, that is roughly 800 km on one full tank.
Rated payload is 1,120 kg. Gross vehicle weight is 2,288 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 Saathi uses a 1,478 cc diesel engine, 45 HP, 110 Nm of torque. It meets BS VI-II norms.
Gross vehicle weight is 2,288 kg, or about 2.29 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 milk transportation, parcel, courier and lpg cylinder. If your daily load and route match that kind of work, this truck fits.
It comes with a 5 F + 1 R manual gearbox. A manual gearbox keeps the running cost and the repair bill lower, and most workshops can handle it.
It has 4 tyres in a 4x2 layout. Tyre size is 165 R14 LR, 8PR.
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.
Turning radius is 5.2 m and wheelbase is 2,250 mm. A smaller turning radius makes market lanes and narrow gates easier, so compare this figure with the other trucks on your list.
The closest options at this size are Tata Ace HT+ (1,950 kg GVW, from about Rs 5 lakh), Premier Roadstar (2,280 kg GVW, from about Rs 4 lakh) and Maruti Suzuki Super Carry CNG (1,600 kg GVW, from about Rs 5 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 Saathi has a GVW of 2,288 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.
