| 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 deliver 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.
Inside the new Honda Legend, you are cocooned in
your own haven of sophistication thanks to impressive levels of
comfort and advanced technology. 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 6-CD stacker CD with 10 speakers and
privacy screens complete the interior. Stylish, modern, luxurious
and now more spacious.
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.
If you are as impressed by the all-new Honda Legend
as we are, you can see it for yourself at our Oakleigh
showroom.
