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. | Full complement of airbags The Legend’s interior is equipped with dual front SRS airbags, driver and front passenger-side SRS airbags and curtain SRS airbags to shield you and your passengers in a structurally sound ‘survival zone’. | Vehicle Stability Assist The Legend's advanced Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system combines the control of the brakes, engine speed and Traction Control System (TCS) to keep the car balanced during cornering and critical conditions. | 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. | 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. |
