Performance & Handling
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.

| 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. | Super-Handling All Wheel Drive This is the first all-wheel drive system that distributes the optimum amount of power not only between the front and rear wheels, but also between the left and right rear wheels. Based on driver input and driving conditions, SH-AWD independently distributes engine torque between front and rear wheels, to optimise traction when either accelerating or decelerating. | 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. |
