Several months prior to its Frankfurt Motor Show debut this September, Opel has released the first official teaser images of the next generation Agila mini. Based on a new platform the 2008 Agila has grown in dimensions measuring in at 3.740 mm in length, 1.680 mm in width and 1.590 mm in height (current Agila: 3.500 mm, 1.620 mm & 1.695 mm respectively). In contrast to the current Agila’s which looks nothing more than it really is; a rebadged Suzuki Wagon R+, the 2008 model’s exterior design blends Corsa and Meriva styling elements. The interior, despite its two-tone dashboard is quite frugal in design, especially when one compares it to the Agila’s most important adversary, the Fiat Panda.
Engine-wise Opel’s new mini will be available with three engine options, two petrol 1.0 & 1.2-liter delivering 56 & 86 Hp respectively and a 1.3 turbodiesel with 75 Hp. According to Opel, the new Agila will be on sale in Europe next spring.
