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.
The all-new Honda Legend is
fitted with a powerful 226kW
3.7 Litre engine, featuring Honda’s ingenious
Active Noise Cancellation system, dulling low frequency
exhaust noise to a pleasant purr. Building a powerful
engine is one thing, but our engineers also made the
Legend’s SOHC VTEC V6 smart enough to use just 11.3
litres of fuel per 100km.
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. Steering wheel mounted paddle shifter controls
let you change gears without taking your hands off
the wheel, for a Formula One inspired performance.
Racing-inspired front double-wishbone suspension and
rear multi-link provides a distinctly linear steering
feel while cornering with more precision and confidence.
A sports sedan should delive superior cornering precision
and here, the Legend excels, riding on stylish 18" aluminium-alloy
wheels with low-profile tyres. The new Legend delivers
excellent aerodynamics and reduced rear lift at high
speeds.
Safety should never be a luxury. That’s why the
Honda Legend includes a host of smart, innovative
technologies that passively and actively protect
the driver, the passengers and pedestrians. 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.
