Opel Agila: sister model to Citron’s electric ‘Duck’ looks likely

It's well-known that the Stellantis Group is planning two new entry-level electric models from 2028: the revival of Citroën's 'Duck' (2CV) and the Fiat Koala. Now, it appears there will also be a sister model from Opel, which, according to a media report, will be called the Opel Agila.

Following Citroën and Fiat, Opel could also enter the entry-level segment with a new battery-electric city car. According to the Italian automotive magazine Quattroruote, the Rüsselsheim-based manufacturer plans to launch a small electric vehicle on the same technical platform just a few months after its two sister brands from the Stellantis Group. The report suggests that the model name will be Opel Agila. However, there has been no official confirmation from Opel or Stellantis to date.

The launch of Stellantis’ new E-Cars family announced in May is set to begin with an electric reinterpretation of the famous ‘Duck’, i.e., the Citroën 2CV. A corresponding concept vehicle was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show. In parallel, Fiat is developing an electric city car, which is expected to be called the Koala. Both models are scheduled to hit the market in 2028, with the potential Opel variant possibly following a few months later, according to Quattroruote.

With the Agila, Opel would revive a former model name. The series, offered between 2000 and 2014, was designed as a compact high-roof city car or microvan. The first generation was based on the Suzuki Wagon R+, while the second was derived from the Suzuki Splash.
