Honda Legend review
Honda's new premium model combines performance, technology, comfort, safety and athletic design
With its blend of advanced technology and a range of innovative assistance systems, the new Honda Legend steps in the upper mid-range luxury sedan as a classic 4-door. True to its dynamic styling, Honda's premium model offers a comfortable interior, with sports tones. Its spaciousness promotes a sense of wellbeing and comfort.
Larger, heavier, more expensive and with a long list of options - these are features common to many new models in the upper mid-range. "The new Legend," said Yasuhisa Maekawa, President of Honda R & D Europe, Vice President of Honda Motor Europe, "shows that a high level of performance, safety and comfort with a more generous does not necessarily overweight, but not least because we are able to offer a premium sedan with all the innovations you can imagine at an attractive price, even compared to most standard models of low-end of many competitors. "
There is now more opportunities for challengers. A few established does dominate the upper middle class and luxury sedan range in the world especially in
Honda legend Body structure
The elegant design of the legend status confirmation, while the dynamic lines of the body are a sporty temperament - an initial reference to the power of up-to-date engine. A feature of the front hood is at peak. From the point of view, the elegant interior, a deep window beltline and a short hood accentuates the wedge shape gives the Legend. The new Legend is 20 mm 25 mm higher and wider than its predecessor. The overall length, however, was reduced by 38 mm and 110 mm pitch, however there is a 30 mm more than the length of the passenger compartment and 40 mm for the height of the interior. The result is a much more generous cabin size, despite the reduction in the total length of the body.Passengers are treated as standard for an environment of elegance, with his immaculate attention to ergonomics, leather upholstery, and 8-way power adjustable front seats.
Aerodynamics excellent and extremely low noise level
With a drag coefficient figure highly efficient and low overall height of 1.45 meters, the new Legend is optimized in a different way seen only in the sports coupe. This pays dividends in the form of fuel economy at higher speeds as well as reducing wind noise to an inaudible level. The results of complicated tests required that a significant reduction in the frequency of high and medium frequency noise was a condition to rebuild the Legend.
Instead of the traditional heavy insulation, lightweight materials are used, which are also very efficient at absorbing sound. For example, the wing interior insulation. A type rubber layer ensures that the noise from uneven or wet surfaces is significantly reduced. The floor is completely covered with a protective coating that is anti-corrosion and acoustic. The bottom is designed so that vibrations are eliminated from the body of insulating material, providing an acoustic barrier between the cabin and the road.
The subframes for the integration of engine and transmission are in a 'floating' to create an acoustic barrier between the main source of vibration (the engine) and the large volume of resonance (the body). Any low frequency noise entering the cabin still are eliminated by a central active Noise Cancellation (ANC) specially developed for this model. The system uses two microphones located in the overhead console. The mics monitor the noise of the trains drive entering the cabin. When the unwanted frequencies are detected, the ANC created a counter-frequency and sends a clear audio signal inverse-time phase of the door speakers and subwoofer audio system. The ANC will overwrite the vibrations and cancels unwanted frequencies. This creates peace within the car, in every way possible, replace the traditional, heavy sound insulation material.
Intelligent lightweight construction
Cars with a number of energy security and high comfort usually weigh more than less well-equipped models in the same range. For this reason, the majority makes offer basic models as 'slimmed down versions'. Honda takes another, the most logical approach, and has equipped the legend in almost all markets. However, to keep the weight down potential, as far as possible, developers have made a new Legend of intelligent lightweight structure. The body - the component with the highest mass - in the measurement is made with high strength steel allow thin wall thickness. In addition, the hood, front fenders and chassis components, such as subframes and wishbones are made of aluminum, the shaft is made of a lightweight carbon fiber reinforced composite. The widespread use of these lightweight materials keeps the car's unladen weight kg 5metre in 1885 - while maintaining excellent rigidity of the body.
Honda legend Comfort
Inside the Legend combines elegant luxury with clean design and efficient, providing an environment that integrates the car's sportiness. At the same time, several recent technological characteristics were selected to allow a simple and intuitive commands. A carefully thought-out inner harmony helps to make the driver feel at ease, providing assistance to difficult driving situations and eliminating unnecessary distractions.
Particular attention was paid to high-quality materials and workmanship.Ergonomic seat with perforated leather trim creates a driving experience that is sporty, yet refined. Maple wood trim sweeps across the instrument panel and center console housing the climate controls, audio and navigation is finished in brushed metal for a more technical look. The main control and the big bright screen navigation are easy to read. All major controls are within reach of the driver.
Engine / transmission - Superior source of power
The legend of the new SOHC VTEC V6 engine 3.5 liters is a complete hi-tech collective and one of the most powerful in its class. The modern aluminum 4-valve with control valve and electronic control of valve lift produces 217 kW (295 hp) at 6,200 revolutions per minute. The maximum torque of 351 Nm at 5,000 rpm, provides acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in 7.3 seconds and a top speed of 250 km / h.
With the standard 5-speed automatic transmission, the driver can select gears manually - either using the shift lever on the center console or paddles located on the steering wheel. The transmission shift system with intelligent, capable Logic Control, provides constant propulsion, especially for riding hills. Hold the Shift Control system works with the electronic throttle and sporty driver benefits on winding roads. Both systems work together to reduce unnecessary shifts when climbing or negotiating corners in automatic mode.
Honda legend Frame
The innovative chassis Legend has double wishbone front suspension and as such as multi-link rear. This sophisticated technology allows for a good ride in a flat curve and safe on uneven road surfaces.
Large, ventilated disc brakes and 4-piston front and rear provide exceptional stopping power. Electronic aids such as ABS, EBD, VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) support the driver in potentially dangerous situations.
SuperHandling
Honda Legend has an all-wheel drive system as standard to improve cornering ability. The SH-AWD (
During straight line cruising and moderate cornering, up to 70 percent of the torque is transmitted to the front wheels, full throttle acceleration or spirited driving runs up to 70 percent of available torque to the rear wheels. Depending on the driving situation, the available torque to the rear can be distributed across a range of 100:0 to 0:100 between the two rear wheels. The result is improved cornering performance and driving pleasure guaranteed.
This intelligent all-wheel technology developed by Honda engineers also improves cornering safety: The SH-AWD system is activated if the driver applies too much pressure on the brakes in a corner and varies the distribution of individual power to the wheels, so that the driving stability, within its physical limits, remains constant.
Honda legend Vehicle Stability Assist
The Honda Legend is equipped with an electronic Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system. This system is comparable to the popular and highly developed ESP, except in the premium model is tightly integrated with Honda's
A microprocessor calculates a predicted range of vehicle responses and coordinates the ideal distribution of braking force on each wheel, if necessary, activates the throttle and ignition controls. With the acceleration controlled, partial braking intervention and acceleration-sensitive individual wheels, VSA can keep the car on track.
Honda legend Security
The new body structure is very rigid Legend provides a high level of occupant safety in a variety of crash situations with a combination of dual-stage front and side airbag systems, side curtain airbags. L '(Advanced Compatibility Engineering) body structure helps ACE disperse collision forces away from the passenger compartment and the general structure of the body. With the intelligent positioning of the components of the frame, in a head-on collision, for example, the collision energy is dispersed over the entire surface on the front and side structure prominent. The ACE body structure also contributes to the protection of other passengers, especially in small vehicles.
The good example
The legend of the new designed front frame structure provides for the protection best partner in the event of an accident with a smaller vehicle: the front structure is designed to buckle relatively easily. In a vehicle collision this component of the vehicle body, the deformation, it absorbs much of the impact and adapts to the security structure of the vehicle. This is because energy, which can not be absorbed by the body than the smaller car inflexible and can impact the interior, is also reduced through the front structure of the specific large sedan from Honda.
Increased pedestrian safety
A pop-up hood further enhances the safety of pedestrians. On collision, three touch sensors in the front bumper detect the danger and activate a pyrotechnic actuator. In a split second, the back edge of the hood 100mm plant. This provides a large space between the hood and hard engine components beneath it. If the head or shoulder of a pedestrian strikes the hood relatively soft, this buckle. The pop-up bonnet can thus significantly reduce the risk of serious injury.
Accident prevention with advanced driving assistance systems
The Legend is equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Collision Mitigation Brake System (CMBS). ACC automatically ensures a constant distance is maintained from the vehicle ahead, the motorway, for example. This makes driving longer distances more relaxing and less tiring.
CMBS: When the minimum distance is dangerously broken, the driver is alerted by a series of sounds and visual alerts and even by a short retraction of the seatbelt. If the collision is still unavoidable, the system helps to minimize the impact of activating the brakes (eg blocking) before the driver applies the brakes.In addition, the electronic system retracts the front passenger seat belts. If the CMBS notes that there is still no response from the driver, making a collision unavoidable, the system automatically activates the brakes to decelerate sharply.
Also, just right-hand drive models can be equipped with an optional Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS). The system maintains the position of the car in its lane by providing steering torque when necessary - this greatly reduces the operator fatigue and reduces the risk of turning off the road.
Increased safety at night
The new Legend comes standard with active front lighting system (AFS). The main-beam white, ultra bright xenon light. The AFS-term stands for the interpretation of a combination of Honda's advanced angle and indicator light that illuminates the road effectively in the driving direction. The searchlight and the left left right wheel drive on the right, to fully illuminate corners and intersections at night. This helps the driver negotiate difficult situations when driving at night and provides a better recognition of pedestrians or other obstacles.
Navigation and Communication
The new Legend Series features a navigation system with voice recognition. The comprehensive digital map information is available on a DVD. A high-performance processor allows you to quickly calculate the path for new software and zoom the map display in almost real time.
Good news for mobile users. Every legend has a full hands-free kit. The installation of the Bluetooth technology ensures that all current mobile phones - regardless of manufacturer - can be used: After an initial 'pairing' between the phone and the car, moving the driver is recognized as soon as the engine is started and can remain in a jacket pocket or even in the trunk when making or receiving phone calls. The quadrants of the driver and accept calls using the buttons on the steering wheel or voice recognition.
Experience with high-end music intensity
For audio experience, the Honda Legend has an up-to-date Bose ® audio system. With the ten speakers, designed specifically for the legend of the American team Bose ®, the cabin becomes a concert hall. The surround sound is delivered to all five seating positions. The integral 6-disc CD player that can play audio DVDs, CDs and MP3 media. Selected functions of the audio system can be controlled by voice recognition. Music or CD, for example, can be changed by voice command.
