New Opel Agila clocks in at 120 g/km of CO2
Filed under: Diesel, MPG, Suzuki, Opel
Opel's latest mini-car, the second generation Agila, is now available in Europe. The little car shared with Suzuki has received its official CO2 ratings and two of the three engine combinations qualify for the reduced vehicle tax bracket in the UK. The 65 hp 1.0L gas engine and 1.3L 75 hp diesel are both rated at 120 g/km meaning that a UK tax disk only costs £35 a year for the Agila. The five-seat Agila is also being priced aggressively at £7,595.

The CO2 figures are good but are not that surprising: the 1.3L diesel this is the Fiat common rail:

I'm not so sure about the price though, as this is almost 11000 euros, and there is some very stiff competition in this class.

Considering the UK market is the only one in the world that requires both right hand drive and Euro 4 emissions, it's not surprising that cars there are more expensive than in continental Europe.
GBP 8000 is a competitive price, especially as the City of London will eliminate the GBP 8/day congestion charge for vehicles in road tax bands A & B (if Euro 4 compliant) as of Feb 8, 2008. Expect a significant number of owners to switch to qualifying cars in the coming years, with entirely predictable consequences for both congestion and *actual* CO2 emissions.

Is GM really interested in selling this? Looks like a car only it's mother would love.
