The first-generation Agila was a rebadged version of the Suzuki Wagon R+, which was produced in Japan.

Vauxhall Agila

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.

It is slightly larger in size than the previous generation, and is classified as a mini MPV.

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.

European production of the Opel Agila and Suzuki Splash is at the Magyar Suzuki plant in Esztergom, Hungary.[3]
