The 1.0 engine was the Z10XE engine with three cylinders in line and 973 cc. The 1.2 engine was the Z12XE with four cylinders in line and 1199 cc. The Agila was built at Opel's factory in [[Gliwice]], Poland. The Suzuki Wagon R+ for the European market was built at the [[Magyar Suzuki]] plant in [[Esztergom]], Hungary. The facelift was launched in August 2003. This was also when the 1.25-liter diesel option was introduced. The petrol engines were also updated and now featured Opel's [[TwinPort]] technology as well as marginal displacement increases, although the updated 1.2-liter four-cylinder option did not arrive until January 2004.

The first generation Agila was a rebadged version of the Suzuki Wagon R-Wide, which was produced in Japan originally. 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 cambelt driven Suzuki unit.[2] Sales began in August 2000.

The 1.0 engine was the Z10XE engine with three cylinders in line and 973 cc. The 1.2 engine was the Z12XE with four cylinders in line and 1199 cc. The Agila was built at Opel's factory in Gliwice, Poland. The Suzuki Wagon R+ for the European market was built at the Magyar Suzuki plant in Esztergom, Hungary.

The car was 200 mm (7.9 in) longer than its predecessor — similar to superminis and mini MPVs such as the Citroën C3 Picasso, Toyota Yaris, Honda Jazz and Nissan Micra. It was slightly larger in size than the previous generation, and was classified as a mini MPV. Sales began in April 2008.

Petrol engines were 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 came in two different trim levels: Base/Essentia and Edition/Enjoy.
