The Wagon R+ was launched in May 1999 in Japan, replacing the Wagon R-Wide. This updated version started sales in the European market in the summer of 2000. The main difference between the JDM Wagon R+ and the European Wagon R+ is the door handles, which on JDM models were body-colored while European models received black door handles. In December 2000, the Japanese-spec model was renamed Wagon R Solio, and this was available both in the bottom-of-the-line Xtrim level and in a more sports-oriented trim level known as the 1.3. In June 2002, the 1.0 E trim level was added to the Wagon R-Solio lineup. In August 2003, a mid-facelift Wagon R-Solio was released. In April 2004, the Wagon R-Solio was renamed Solio, losing the Wagon R moniker entirely. In August 2005, a facelifted Solio was launched. The Hungarian-built Wagon R+ is still being produced for the European market, albeit with limited range and availability. As of 2006 in the UK, only one model is available - the GL, with a 1.3 litre 16 valve 4-cylinder petrol engine delivering, ABS with EBD and air conditioning as options. The current model is x x , with a claimed of cargo space. It was too difficult for either the Wagon R-Solio or Solio to meet with Euro NCAP crash safety ratings. As a result, the Wagon R+ continued in Europe until late 2008, when replaced by the Splash. From 2000 until 2007, the Wagon R+ is rebadged as Opel/Vauxhall Agila. The Agila was built at an Opel factory in Gliwice, Poland and used Opel Engines and transmissions. The last Agila was a rebadged Splash.
Second generation (MA15S, 2010)
While the kei-version of the Wagon R went through third and fourth generations, the wider Solio remained in its first generation until undergoing a full model change in December 2010. The second generation Solio was released on 7 January 2011 and is based on the Palette instead of the Wagon R, although the Palette itself uses the Wagon R's platform. This generation of Solio also provides the basis for an OEM deal with Mitsubishi Motors, rebadged as the , which was released in March 2011. In Japan, it was sold at a specific retail chain called Car Plaza.
