II Overview:
Opel Agila (II). With 114 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~7.8 l/100km). Weighing only 1050 kg, it’s quite light. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 14.8 s). The top speed reaches 170 km/h. 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.
Achieved a 3-star Euro NCAP rating in 2008 (tested as Suzuki Splash), offering adequate protection for adult occupants for its class and era, though not class-leading.
