Model Overview

The most powerful Honda ever

The new-generation Honda Legend is quite simply the most exhilarating, athletic sedan to ever wear the Honda marque. Quite a feat given the Legends that have come before it. But this latest incarnation, with its combination of performance, handling, style and luxury, represents the pinnacle of Honda’s innovative engineering.

Colour and Trim

No matter the hue, you can rest assured that Legend's deep and exceptionally high-lustre paintwork is tough, durable and formulated to shine for years to come

Features

As you can clearly see, the Legend's aggresive yet elegant form allows it to split the wind with grace.

Exterior

Flush side glass

Normally, a gap exists between the side glass and the B-pillar. On the Legend, the window guide is on the glass instead of the window frame, meaning there is no gap. This reduces wind noise and gives a cleaner, high-quality appearance.

Rain-sensing wipers

Hidden pivots and arms for the speed-sensing, variable intermittent and rain sensitive wipers, clean a larger area of the windscreen and provide enhanced outward visibility and pedestrian safety in the event of a collision.

Dual exhaust

The Legend's rear profile is finished off with striking dual chrome exhaust pipes, stylishly integrated into each corner of the rear bumper. It gives a subtle hint of its performance-oriented nature.

LED taillights

Besides providing a high-tech look, LED lights react quicker (they turn on/off much quicker than traditional bulbs) and produce crisper illumination which translates to greater visibility and improved safety.

Electric sunroof

The Legend's electric glass sunroof allows you to enjoy a fresh perspective from above without having to leave the comfort of the cabin. It includes tilt or slide functions, and includes an integrated sunblind.

Front & rear fog lights

Not only does the Legend feature High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights with Active Front lighting System (AFS), it also has bright 55-watt fog lights as standard for superior night-time visibility.

Heated mirrors

Heating elements keep the side mirrors clear during inclement weather, and the integrated side indicators make your turning intentions clear. When 'reverse' gear is engaged, the passenger-side mirror tilts downward to help the driver view a potential blind spot.

Illuminated door handles

When remotely unlocking the Legend, discrete LED lights illuminate all external door handles. Honda have included this small touch of luxury to make it easier to find the handle in the dark.

 

Interior

Satellite Navigation

Legend's satellite navigation system can guide you – turn by turn – to virtually anywhere in Australia. This fully integrated system continually calculates your location and the shortest, fastest route to your destination. Clear verbal instructions and on-screen information guide you every step of the way.

BOSE® 10-Speaker Sound System with DVD Audio

260-watts of crisp, clean sound are delivered through 10 acoustically positioned BOSE® speakers. The system includes a 6 CD in-dash changer with MP3, WMA, USB audio input and DVD Audio compatibility.

Climate Control

The dual mode/dual zone climate control system is both vertically and horizontally independent, allowing driver and front passenger to set their own temperature and vent settings. Sensitive to sunlight, it uses optical sensors to determine the sun’s position, adjusting the interior climate accordingly.

Ambient Lighting

Blue ambient cabin lighting imparts a sense of style and extends to the console, switches, front footwells, door handles, storage compartments, glovebox and armrests. The interior lights feature “theatre dimming,” which can be set to any of several rates via the Multi-information display.

Electric Rear Sunshade

An electric rear sunshade is easily activated by a switch on the driver's overhead console. When 'reverse' gear is selected, it automatically retracts to allow clear rear vision. For greater passenger comfort on sunny days, the Legend also has manually operated sunshades for each rear side window.

Power retractable headrests

When there are no rear-seat passengers, the three rear headrests can be remotely lowered by the driver with a touch of a button for improved rearward visibility. When carrying rear seat passengers, they can be raised manually for use.

Power heated seats

Both driver and passenger enjoy luxurious heated seats with 10-way power adjustments (8-way Power Seat with 2-Way Power Lumbar Support) for just the right seating position. They also have power adjustments for backward, forward and seatback angles.

Active Noise Cancellation

The Legend's Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) system reduces unwanted cabin noise by as much as 10dB. A pair of ceiling-mounted microphones monitor low-frequency noise in the cabin. When sound is detected, the ANC unit sends an opposite phase signal through the Legend's audio system at an inaudible volume, effectively cancelling out the original sound. It all happens automatically, whether the audio system is switched on or off.

 

Engineering

All Power and Torque

An increased output of 226kW at 6300rpm of power and greater lower end torque (370Nm at 5000rpm to be precise), make this new Legend significantly quicker off the mark.

5-speed auto with Grade Logic and Shift-Hold Control

Power is delivered smoothly thanks to the 5-Speed Sequential SportShift automatic transmission with an advanced Grade Logic System and Shift-Hold Control, both of which work to reduce gear 'hunting' and unnecessary changes.

3.7L SOHC V6 VTEC 226kW Engine

The most powerful production engine we’ve ever built. But if you’re after an engine with a conspicuous growl, you’d better look elsewhere. Because as soon as the Legend’s engine starts, so too does Honda’s ingenious Active Noise Cancellation system, dulling low frequency exhaust noise to a pleasant purr.

New Paddle Shifters

If it’s excitement you’re craving, steering wheel mounted paddle shifter controls let you change gears without taking your hands off the wheel, for a Formula One inspired performance.

Drive-by-wire throttle

Drive-by wire (DBW) technology replaces the conventional throttle cable with an all electronic system that uses input from engine and chassis sensors to deliver incredibly precise acceleration.

Suspension

Racing-inspired front double-wishbone suspension and rear multi-link provides a distinctly linear steering feel while cornering with more precision and confidence.

Standard 18" Wheels

A sports sedan should deliver superior cornering precision and here, the Legend excels, riding on stylish 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels with low-profile tyres.

 

Safety

Active front lighting system

Every Legend features Xenon, High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights with Active Front lighting System (AFS). Depending on which way the car is turning, AFS enables either one of the “daylight-like” headlights to swivel outwards, to light up larger areas of road surface on bends

Full complement of airbags

The Legend’s interior is equipped with dual front SRS airbags, driver and front passenger-side SRS airbags and curtain SRS airbags to shield you and your passengers in a structurally sound ‘survival zone’.

Vehicle Stability Assist

The Legend's advanced Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system combines the control of the brakes, engine speed and Traction Control System (TCS) to keep the car balanced during cornering and critical conditions.

Advanced Compatability Engineering (ACE)

To complement the high performance of the Legend, it has a highly rigid body structure which utilises Honda’s Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) principles. The ACE structure helps to disperse collision forces over a larger frontal area for greater protection for vehicle occupants while at the same time increasing compatibility with other vehicles in a frontal collision.

Extensive use of high-tensile steel and lightweight aluminium components take construction beyond conventional safety protocols while keeping weight in check and providing a solid platform.

Reversing Camera

The reversing camera is automatically activated when 'reverse' gear is selected. An external camera mounted over the number plate assembly sends an image to the dash-mounted colour screen to make parking safer.

Anti-lock brakes

In addition to Anti-lock brakes (ABS), we've included Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) to spread optimal braking force between front and rear. The Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) function increases braking output in emergency conditions.

Pop-up bonnet

In the event of a collision with a pedestrian, a pyrotechnic actuator is triggered which lifts the bonnet by 100 mm. This creates a clearance between the metalwork and engine bay, reducing pedestrian head injuries.

G-Con

Developed at Honda's real World car-to-car test facility, G-force Control protection exceeds governmental regulations and sets its own safety standard.
