General Motors continued its project with Suzuki to create and build a small-sized minivan for the European market.
While in mainland Europe the minivan was sold as Opel Agila, in England, it wore the Vauxhall badges. That strategy worked for years, and GM didn't see any problems with doing it all over again since the British brand was better known in the UK than the German-badged vehicles known by the name of Opel.
The urban mini-monocab design concept showed a vehicle fit for tight urban areas. Its short, 3.74 m (12.2 ft) length allowed the car to be parked in tight spots easier than most other vehicles on the market. Moreover, its tall greenhouse and generously-sized doors eased the ingress and egress of the vehicle. At the front, the Agila sported very big headlights, swept back toward the car's A-pillar. At the back, the vertical drop of the tailgate was sweetened by angular-shaped taillights that flanked the vehicle.
Inside, thanks to the high-mounted seats, the Agila offered enough room for four adult-sized occupants. At the front, the two bucket seats provided enough comfort for their occupants. On the dashboard, in front of the driver, the automaker installed an instrument cluster with a big speedometer placed in the middle and several other lights. On the center stack, Vauxhall installed a CD player and the HVAC control panel. In addition, an extension of the center stack hosted the gear stick. On the rear bench was room enough for two passengers, but the trunk in the rearmost side of the car was small, good only for a few shopping.
Under the hood, the two carmakers (GM and Suzuki) decided to give the car a choice of three engines, both gasoline and turbo-diesel. A four-speed automatic was available.
