The Opel Agila is a city car produced by German automaker Opel since 2000. It is badged as a Vauxhall in the United Kingdom and as a Suzuki in many markets.

The first-generation Agila is 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 is built at a General Motors factory in Gliwice, Poland. The Suzuki Wagon R was built at the Suzuki plant in Esztergom, 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.
The second-generation Agila was officially announced on May 15 2007 and will be presented at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show. [1] Suzuki will sell this model as the Splash. The car is 200 mm (7.9 in) longer than its predecessor, that is bigger than traditional city cars and similar to small superminis and mini MPVs like the Peugeot 1007, Toyota Yaris, Renault Modus and Nissan Micra.
Petrol engines will be a three cylinder 1.0-litre 65 hp (48 kW) and a four cylinder 1.2-litre 86 hp (64 kW), and the diesel unit a four cylinder 1.3-litre 75 hp (56 kW) with common rail technology.
