It will be available with two different petrol engines: a 1.0 litre, three-cylinder, 12-valve unit with maximum power of 65hp and a 1.2 litre, four-cylinder unit with maximum power of 86hp.
A 1.3 litre diesel unit with optional particulate filter and a maximum power 75hp will also be available.
A version will be produced by Opel called the Agila. BB
