The Chevrolet Agile is a subcompact car that was developed by Chevrolet in Brazil and built in Argentina between 2009 and 2016. It was only produced as a 5-door hatchback, but a coupé utility sold as Chevrolet Montana was offered too.
Overview
Based on the GPiX Concept which was introduced at the 2008 São Paulo Auto Show,[1][2] the Agile went on sale in 2009[3] and competes with the Volkswagen Fox and similar models.
Based on the early '90s Opel Corsa B, the Agile was produced only as a 5-door hatchback; unlike the similar designed Chevrolet Celta, which was offered with 3-door and 4-door sedan configurations.

In August 2013, a facelift version of the Agile was launched. This redesign slightly affected the interior, which received a multifunction steering wheel (LTZ version only), new upholstery and subtle changes to the dashboard. On the exterior, the changes focused on the headlights, bumpers, grille and part of the front end. The rear was altered too, with a reflective bumpers and contact areas for parking markers in black plastic were added. The light alloy wheels were also modified in the LTZ version.
The face-lift Agile continued to offer the same 1.4 8v 92 hp petrol engine, along with a five-speed manual gearbox.
In addition to offering ABS brakes and double front airbags as standard equipment, no structural modifications were made despite being classified as unstable after the crash test carried out in the past by LatinNcap.

The second generation Chevrolet Montana coupé utility uses the chasis and front fascia from the Chevrolet Agile. It was made between 2010 and 2021 in Brazil. The Montana became known as the Chevrolet Montana, Tornado, or Utility, depending on the market.
Replacement
By early 2012, General Motors stated that the Agile replacement would be a new global car. It would be manufactured in Argentina in 2015 for the year 2016.[8] However, with the launch in Argentina of the Brazilian-made Chevrolet Onix around mid-2013; the Agile was positioned as a more economical model.
Production of the Agile ended in 2016 with the Onix finally succeeding it.
