[edit] Agila A (2000–2007)
The first-generation Agila was a rebadged version of the Suzuki Wagon R+, which was produced in Japan. The Agila's Opel-sourced 1.0 and 1.2-litre petrol engines were smaller than the European-market 1.3-litre 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.[citation needed]
The Agila was built at Opel's factory in Gliwice, Poland. The Suzuki Wagon R+ was built at the Magyar Suzuki plant in Esztergom, Hungary until 2004, and since January 2005 has also been built in Poland.
While many city cars such as the Ford Ka, Volkswagen Fox and Fiat Nuova 500 come with just three doors, the Agila comes with five. It is/was tall as Korean city cars such as the Hyundai Atos.
[edit] Agila B (2008–present)
The second-generation Agila was officially announced on May 15, 2007, and was presented at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show.[2] Suzuki marketed this generation under the Splash nameplate. The car is 200 mm (7.9 in) longer than its predecessor — similar to small superminis and mini MPVs such as the Citroën C3 Picasso, Toyota Yaris, Honda Jazz and Nissan Micra.
Petrol engines are a three cylinder 1.0-litre, 65 PS (48 kW; 64 bhp) and a four cylinder 1.2-litre 86 PS (63 kW; 85 bhp), and the diesel unit a four cylinder 1.3-litre CDTi 75 PS (55 kW; 74 bhp) with common rail technology.
The Agila comes in two different trim levels: Base/Essentia and Edition/Enjoy.
