The Chevrolet Agile is a subcompact car that was developed by Chevrolet in Brazil and built in Argentina.

The second generation Chevrolet Montana coupé utility shares the same platform as Agile. The Chevrolet Agile is powered by a Family 1 engine 1.4 L flex-fuel engine.

The Agile was available in two trim levels; LT and LTZ, with a base LS in some markets. Anti-lock braking systems are available on the LTZ model.
Engines
[edit]In most South American markets, the 1389cc engine produces 92 PS (68 kW; 91 bhp) and 120 N⋅m (89 lb⋅ft).[4] The Brazilian Agile Flexfuel 1.4L 8-valve engine produces 97 PS (71 kW; 96 bhp) and 129 N⋅m (95 lb⋅ft) torque with petrol, 102 PS (75 kW; 101 bhp) and 132 N⋅m (97 lb⋅ft) with ethanol.[5]
Safety
[edit]The Chevrolet Agile in its most basic Latin American market configuration with no airbags and no ABS has been rated as totally unsafe by Latin NCAP in 2013, scoring zero stars for adult occupants and two stars for children.[6][7]
Replacement
[edit]General Motors launched the Chevrolet Onix in 2012 to replace Chevrolet Celta. However, the size of Agile has made its future uncertain.
Production of the Agile ended in 2016 with the Onix finally succeeding it.
