Production period: 2000-2014
Class : Minivan
Body versions : Station wagon
Successor: Opel Karl

The Opel Agila (from the Latin agilis, “flexible”, “agile”) is a microvan model and nominally the smallest series from the manufacturer Opel . The Agila is significantly shorter than the Corsa from the same company, but when all three main dimensions (length, width, height) are taken into account, it is almost the same size as this one, just differently proportioned. The successor (Agila B) is identical to the Suzuki Splash , in Great Britain the right-hand drive model is offered as the Vauxhall Agila .

The first generation of the Agila (Agila A) was produced from summer 2000 to autumn 2007. The second generation, the Agila B, which can only be called a van or microvan to a limited extent due to the significantly reduced height-to-length ratio, reached dealers in spring 2008.

Production ended in autumn 2014. Since mid-2015, its successor has been the Opel Karl small car , which is called Vauxhall Viva in Great Britain .

The 3.5 m long minivan Agila A resembled the earlier Suzuki Wagon R + except for the gasoline engines and the chassis set-up and was built in Gliwice, Poland . The basis for the Agila was the Concept-A study from 1999. The series vehicle was launched on the market in August 2000.

In August 2003, the Agila received a slight makeover (e.g. a chrome strut in the radiator grille). In addition, the output of the two gasoline engines has been increased and a 1.3 liter diesel engine has been added to the selection.

As with the previous model, there was a cooperation between Opel and Suzuki , whose variant is called Splash . Both the Agila and the Splash were produced by Magyar Suzuki Zrt. in Esztergom (Hungary).

When the model changed, the Opel Agila grew to 3.74 m in length (+ 20 cm), 1.68 m in width (+ 6 cm) and shrunk to 1.59 m in height (- 7 cm), making it is significantly more elongated than its predecessor and therefore also appears more dynamic. The trunk has a capacity of 225 liters or a standard sports stroller, but can be expanded to up to 1050 liters by folding down the backrest. The tank holds 45 liters, the turning circle diameter is 9.6 m "from curb to curb" and 10 meters "from wall to wall". The technically permissible trailer load is very low at 200 kg (braked and unbraked).
