The Opel Agila (from Latin agilis, "agile") is a city car marketed under the German marque Opel from 2000 to 2014, as a rebadged variant of the Suzuki Wagon R+ (first generation) and the Suzuki Splash (second generation), and marketed under the Vauxhall marque in the United Kingdom. The first generation, classified as a city car, was built at Gliwice, Poland by Opel Polska, and is a rebadged version of the Suzuki Wagon R+ produced in Japan, later given the "Solio" surname. The Agila's Opel-sourced 1.0 and 1.2 litre petrol engines were smaller than the 1.3 litre found in the European-market Wagon R+; the cam-chain Opel engines, as used in the Corsa, proved less reliable than the Suzuki-built engines.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.
