The Acura EL is a subcompact executive car that was built at Honda's Alliston, Ontario, plant, and also the first Acura built in Canada. It was also exclusively sold in Canada. The EL is a badge-engineered Honda Civic with a higher level of features.[1] There is no Type-S trim offered on any Acura EL.
The Acura EL was a sales success. Representing 51% of Acura Canada's annual new-vehicle sales in its first full year, the EL remained Acura's top seller in Canada from 1997 to 2003.[2] The Acura EL was replaced for the 2006 model year by the Acura CSX which, like the EL, was available only in Canada.[3]
