II Overview:
Opel Agila (II). With 114 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~6.9 l/100km). Weighing only 1050 kg, it’s quite light.

A compact car with a rear door that swings upward to provide access to the cargo area. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
