Aimed squarely at active urban women, Agila is a compact five-seater with a high seating arrangement, elevated gearshift and a rear bench that can be tumbled forward to free up some space at the rear and provide a flat load bed.
Its interior is awash with bright colours, is littered with oddment bins and has height adjustable front seats, adjustable steering wheel with remote controls, a 60:40 split rear bench and additional storage space beneath the flat boot floor.
Agila is equipped with four airbags, and optional ESP and head curtain airbags.
The car rides on a new platform that according to Opel has been developed for "agile handling" and uses a semi-independent rear suspension.
Two new engines, a petrol 1.2 and 1.3 turbodiesel with common-rail direct injection, will be offered.
The Agila will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. The car will not be offered in South Africa.
