Honda Legend

The 2011 Honda Legend couples a responsive, fuel-efficient engine with a sophisticated suspension system. It will reawaken the delight of driving, whether on long distance road trips or manoeuvring through city streets.

From $85,183* on road

Elegant from any angle

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.

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.

Stylish, modern, luxurious and now more spacious

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.

Integrated Hands Free Blue Tooth Phone Operation

Offering steering wheel mounted phone controls for added safety and convenience.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Safety should never be a luxury

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.

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.

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.

Vehicle Stability Assist

Honda Legend added safety

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.

Popup 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.
