General Motors Agila

(Redirected from Vauxhall Agila)

The Agila, badged either as Opel in Europe and Vauxhall in the UK, is a small wagon built in Poland, with sales commencing in summer 2000.

It was a rebadged version of the Suzuki Wagon R , which was produced in Japan. The Agila's Opel-sourced 1.0 L and 1.2 L petrol engines were smaller than the European-market 1.3 L found in European-market Wagon Rs, but were more powerful and refined. Equipment levels, low asking prices and running costs also contributed towards the Agila's success.

The Agila is build at Opel Polska factory in Gliwice, Poland. Suzuki Wagon R+ was built in Suzuki Plant in Hungary till 2004, and since early 2005 is also build in Poland.

While many European city cars (Ford Ka, Volkswagen Lupo, Fiat Seicento and Renault Twingo) come with just three doors, the Agila came with five.
