Acura EL

The Acura EL was a compact entry-level luxury car built at Honda's Alliston, Ontario, plant, and also the first Acura built in Canada. The EL is a rebadged Honda Civic with a higher level of features.

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. The Acura EL was replaced for the 2006 model year by the Acura CSX which, like the EL, is available only in Canada.
