You don't need to create views in this hierarchy but you need to create URLs in this fashion and that is called friendly URLs.

Look at following stack overflow question How can I create a friendly URL in ASP.NET MVC? and Friendly URL

You will be defining another route which will end up on your single action method. So You will add a route in routeConfig.cs as follows

 routes.MapRoute(
                name: "custom",
                url: "{category}/{type}/{manufacturer}/{version}/{Title}",
                defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "customRoute"}
            );

and your custom action will have all values passed in as param be as follows

public string customRoute(string category, string type, string manufacturer, string version, string Title)
{
    return category + type + manufacturer + version + Title;
}

You can achieve the same using action based routing as well 

 // eg: electronics/mobiles/samsung/samsungS3/adTitle
    [Route("{category}/{type}/{manufacturer}/{Title}")]
    public ActionResult Index(string cateogry, string type,string manfacture, string Title) { ... }

You don't need hierarchy of Views, you should use Route Config that will allow you to get View that you need base on URL.

From 4 Version of MVC also have areas not only controlles and View by default. So check this tutorial to know how to customise your Routing.
