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.

Engineering

The Honda Legend has never been shy of flexing its muscle when the situation demands it, and this latest model is no exception. The 3.7 litre SOHC VTEC V6 is the most powerful production engine we’ve ever built. Of course, power is of little use without control, so the Legend is equipped with Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD). The result, a ride that is incredibly safe and precise.

Interior

Inside, occupants are pampered with an infusion of hi-tech and traditional materials; brushed aluminium, sumptuous leather and woodgrain panelling. A centrally mounted reversing camera, comprehensive instrumentation, climate control, premium in-dash 6CD stacker CD with 10 speakers and privacy screens complete the interior.

Exterior

The new Legend delivers excellent aerodynamics and reduced rear lift at high speeds. It’s more athletic style foreshadows the power beneath the new blow-formed aluminum hood. Taut and athletic, its acceleration and cornering performance allow it to challenge the most capable sports sedans.

Where the Legend really shines, though, is with its smarts. Take, for example, its Active Front Lighting System (AFS) and High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights. Depending on which way the car is turning, AFS enables either one of the “daylightlike” headlights to swivel outwards, to light up larger areas of road surface on bends. Other touches include rain-sensitive wipers and illuminated door handles.

Safety

With so much power in your hands, it’s comforting to know the Legend has safety to match. Honda innovations like Advanced Compatibility Engineering and G-Force Control technology provide outstanding structural safety. These combined with multiple airbags and active front head restraints, deliver optimum occupant protection in the event of a collision. What’s more, a rear-mounted video camera and in-dash monitor provides a better view when reversing. And then of course there’s SH-AWD giving you not only incredible handling, but also keeping you anchored firmly to the road.

Environment and Economy

At Honda we focus on the need to increase fuel efficiency to reduce CO2 emissions, improve the efficiency of the internal combustion engine, continue to expand hybrid vehicle technology, and develop new, non-fossil fuel energy sources, including the ultimate solution, the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle.
