Our reader Bairesh Raj who sent us snaps of the Hyundai Verna and Renault Fluence testing near Chennai is at it again, this time snapping the Ashok Leyland-Nissan Dost LCV testing with a container mounted on to its loading area. Bairesh left us this note to post with the spy pics -
On Saturday when I was traveling from Hosur to Chennai, I spotted this LCV on test. Though my research on the internet back home showed it was an application of the the Ashok Leyland-Nissan Dost model, people will doubt whether this is a result of a JV as not a single Nissan badge can be spotted anywhere. Nissan or AshLey, he was doing in excess of 130 kmph!
The 1.25-tonne Dost LCV will be manufactured at the Hosur facility and bear no Nissan logos. Powered by a 3-cylinder turbocharged CRDI engine, it produces 55hp. There are three variants in the offing – a base model with manual steering, a mid model with power steering and high end model richly appointed with air conditioning, power steering and dual tone interiors
The Dost platform could spawn a passenger application variant in the future.

Spied? You call it a spied vehicle? LOL I watched its full review on a car show on some news channel yesterday night, compared with tata ace and mahindra bolero pickup. You guys seems lazy or copy from there and say spied by us!
well the vehicle “spied” here comes with a factory fitted container and deflector. It had “On Test” badges, which is why we call it a test mule. We acknowledge the fact that the vehicle was showcased a while back.
