The first generation Agila is arebadged version of theSuzuki Wagon R+, which was produced in Japan, and later given the "Solio" surname. The Agila's Opel sourced 1.0 and 1.2 litrepetrol 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 inGliwice, Poland. The Suzuki Wagon R+ for the European market was built at theMagyar Suzuki plant inEsztergom, 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'sTwinPort technology as well as marginal displacement increases, although the updated 1.2-liter four-cylinder option did not arrive until January 2004.
