Opel Agila
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Agila, badged either as an Opel in Europe or as a Vauxhall in the UK, is a city car built only in Gliwice (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 gasoline engines were smaller than the European-market 1.3 L found in the European-market Wagon R, but were more powerful and refined. Equipment levels, low asking prices and running costs also contributed towards the Agila's success.
The Agila is built at the General Motors Manufacturing Poland factory in Gliwice, Poland. The Suzuki Wagon R was built at the Suzuki plant in Hungary until 2004, and since early 2005 has also been built 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. It is as tall as Korean city cars such as the Hyundai Atos and Kia Picanto.
