In 2008, Opel introduced the second generation of the Agila model.
The Opel Agila is a mini-monocab with five doors and five seats. Its small-car exterior means the Agila is easy to park, yet its interior is relatively roomy.
topIts almond-shaped lighting units and the integrated round headlamps lend it a friendly face. The slender, vertical tail lights allowed a tailgate design that makes loading and unloading easy. Fresh colors and attractive shapes create a friendly interior atmosphere.
The luggage compartment capacity is at 225 liters, and with the rear seat backs folded forward, it increases to 1050 liters.
The five-seater features a high seating position for visibility and the gear shift lever is located higher up for easy operation. The rear seat backs and bench are available in a 60:40 split on the Enjoy trim level.
topThe Opel Agila has two front and two side airbags, safety belt pretensioners and belt force limiters for the safety belts in front. The Opel Pedal Release System protects the driver’s feet from serious injury in the event of a head-on collision. Mountings for the child safety seat system ISOFIX and Top Tether are integrated into the outer rear seats.
The Agila’s chassis comes with A-arm and McPherson struts in front and a twist beam rear axle. The front subframe carries the lower A-arm, suspension stabilizer and steering. The Agila’s track measures 1470 mm at the front and1480 mm at the rear. Instead of a rigid axle like its predecessor, the mini monocab features a torsional pivot pin in the rear. ESP is available as an option.
The rack and pinion power steering varies according to driving speed. The steering wheel has a diameter of 370 mm, its 3.2 turns lock-to-lock. Turning clearance has been reduced from 10 meters to 9.6 (curb to curb). All Agila models are fitted with ABS with integrated brake assist, which shortens braking distance in emergency situations. Internally ventilated disk brakes are istalled in front and drum brakes in rear.
topTwo gasoline engines are used in the Agila. Both have an aluminum cylinder block and head as well as twin overhead camshafts and are Euro 5 compliant.
The entry-level engine is the 1.0-liter three-cylinder unit with 48 kW/65 hp and a top speed of 160 km/h. Fitted with a five-speed manual gearbox it requires 5.1 l/100 km and emits 119 g/km CO2.
The 1.2-liter four-cylinder engine with 69 kW/94 hp sprints from zero to 100 km/h in 12 seconds and reaches a maximum speed of 175 km/h. It is offered in both a standard five-speed manual gearbox and an optional four-speed automatic transmission. With the fuel-saving Start/Stop technology, the Agila 1.2-liter ecoFLEX (69 kW/94 hp) with five-speed manual gearbox emits just 116 g/km CO2 and has combined cycle fuel consumption of 5.0 l/100 km.

Opel entered the automobile business in 1899, selling Opel-Lutzmann cars, the first of them being the “Patent Motor Car”. Partnership between Opel and Lutzman was terminated in 1901 and Adam Opel’s son initiated a new contract with the French carmaker Darracq that allowed the German company to built Opel-Darracq cars. These cars received their chassis from Darracq and their bodies from Opel.
