The cam-chain Opel engines, as used in the Corsa, proved less reliable than the cambelt driven Suzuki unit.

The second generation Agila was officially announced on 15 May 2007, and was presented at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show,[3] as a rebadged variant of the Suzuki Splash.

The car was 200 mm (7.9 in) longer than its predecessor — similar to superminis and mini MPVs such as the Citroën C3 Picasso, Toyota Yaris, Honda Jazz and Nissan Micra.

It was slightly larger in size than the previous generation, and was classified as a mini MPV.
