First coevals Legend sedan
The first-generation Legend, introduced to Japanese Islands on October 22, 1985, was the first production Honda vehicle to offer only a SOHC V6 engine worldwide. The introduction of the Legend too coincided with the launch of a new dealership sales channel in Japan, called Honda Clio. The Legend was the result of a joint venture with Britain's Austin Rover Group called Project XX that started in Nov 1981 with the Austin Rover-Honda XX letter of captive communicatory by the two companies to replace the Rover SD1 and to offer a luxury vehicle for Honda, and was codenamed as HX. The Rover Company had a prolonged established report as a luxury car maker in the Conjugate Kingdom and European Economic Community, incontestable with the Rover P5 and Bird of passage P6, and Honda yearned-for to introduce a luxury car for the Japanese, European and North North American nation markets. Rover also sought to comeback to the American market when previously they had reportedly sold only 1,500 cars in 1971, and a brief return in 1980, selling 800 Rover SD1s by offer the Sterling which was also a result of the ARG-Honda partnership.[3] The growth work was carried out at Rover's Canley, Coventry plant and Honda's Tochigi Prefecture development centre. Design work all over on the Caption in 1982, with a design patent being filed on September 27, 1982, at the Japan Patent Office under application number 1982-043493 and certified on September 19, 1984, low patent routine 0640105.[4]
Honda and British Leyland/Rover in agreement that Legends would be built at Cowley for the British food market.[5] However, few UK collective Legends passed Honda's quality control standards, and many simply ended risen being used as in-works transport.[5] In the end, only 4,409 Legends were made-up in the UK, from 1986 until 1988.[6] All US-market Legends were stacked in Japan.
Japanese market [edit]
Honda wanted to expand its model range above the Honda Accord, and offer a premium level sedan that would appeal to wealthy middle-aged customers who were the traditional buyers of the Toyota Crown, Mazda Henry Robinson Luce and Nissan Cedric/Gloria. In 1981, Honda had introduced a luxuriousness level version of the Accord, called the Honda Vigor, but accomplished that they needed to manufacture a larger, more exclusive sedan with similar dimensions to the Crown, Luce, Cedric and Gloria. When the Legend was introduced cosmopolitan, the optional equipment list was minimal A commonly identified equipment regarded as opulence in nature was included as common equipment, leaving the only option the choice between a hand-operated or automatic transmission.
The major mechanical difference between the Legend and the Toyota, Mazda and Nissan sedans was that the Legend was front-wheel drive, which Honda explicit was "quite simply the most rational means to the ends the engineers desired: a true luxury car with a low, aerodynamic hood; a spacious interior with a virtually plane floor, and the superior traction that results from placing the engine and drivetrain transversely over the drive wheels." This provided the Legend with a frontal-end heavy 63/37 front to rear weight distribution ratio, similar to the NSU Ro 80.[7] The ride was engineered to invoke towards the luxury car commercialise and not necessarily towards the performance market, and the front to rear weight unit distribution ratio reflected this finish. Efforts to minimize torsion steer were achieved by the half shafts and the angles of the joints at the ends of those shafts being equalized, serving the Legend to accelerate in a straight line.
The Japanese-spec Legend was offered in three trim levels; the V6Xi with the 2.5 L C25A V6 locomotive engine, with the slightly shorter and narrower V6Gi and V6Zi exploitation the 2.0 L C20A V6. The V6Gi had the same grade of equipment and luxury features as the V6Xi, whereas the V6Zi had reduced content and a lower price. The V6 engines were available with electronic, multi-port sequential fire injection Honda called Programmed Fuel Injection, Beaver State PGM-FI and a variable length consumption manifold on the smaller 2.0 L V6. The larger 2.5 L engine was upgraded to the C27A 2.7 L displacement for model year 1988 and added the multivariate length intake manifold as a star engine improvement. The locomotive engine benefited from Honda's successes with its endeavors in Formula One racing in 1964, and Honda's F1 racing car, the Honda RA271. Transmission selections were either a four-speed automatic transaxle with a computer controlled lockup torque converter, or a five-speed manual transaxle.
In range for the sedan chair to comply with Japanese vehicle size requirements and belittled assess liability, the railway car with the 2.0 L V6 was slightly shorter and narrower for Japanese buyers by reducing the prolongation of the front and rear bumper covers, and reducing the overall width to 1,695 mm (66.7 in). This also offered an choice to the traditional Crown and Cedric/Gloria client base due to the sedan being in the smaller size compartmentalization and reduced tax financial obligation but with a like level of luxury equipment institute in the larger cars, and the similar amount of interior space due to the breast-cycle driving force powertrain, with a wheelbase advantage of 30 mm (1.2 in) over the Cedric/Gloria and Crown. To address the publish of durability, the Legend was manufactured as a pillared sedan instead of a four-door hardtop, a body style still offered at the time by Toyota and Nissan on the Crown and Cedric/Gloria. The slightly smaller body title also allowed the Legend to compete with the upmarket Toyota Cresta and Chaser and the Nissan Laurel.
The Legend offered many another Honda "firsts", such as a driver side airbag, vehicle travel rapidly sensitive tycoo assist wrack and pinon steering, opposed-lock brakes, seat belt pre-tensioners with Emergency Locking Retractors (called E.L.R.), a choice of 100% wool or cloth moquette upholstery, and "TCS" Traction dominance, the first car to use traction ascendence connected a front-wheel drive vehicle. Tending was given to make a point the Legend was still, so Honda used computer model using NASTRAN, a stress analysis programme created by NASA, helping the car achieve a drag coefficient of 0.32 and an Department of the Interior interference level of 63 dB (unhurried while the vehicle was travel at 100 kilometres per hour (62.1 mph) using a extremity transmission in 5th appurtenance), and by using triple seals around the tops of door openings.
The Legend was introduced with a double wishbone suspension for the front wheels, and a modified Chapman tittup with trailing arm rear reprieve Honda called "RF (Reduced Friction) Strut Rear Respite" with forward-looking pace rear coil springs that stiffen as they compact to combine smooth ride and good treatment. The rear coil spring was separate from the strut and positioned so that vertical coerce was financed by the lower control build up. The term Reduced Friction referred to the minimizing of forces that create friction in the shock absorbers, providing more efficient damping for the full abeyance CVA. The rear suspension was upgraded to double wishbone starting with the 1988 model twelvemonth worldwide.
Notable owners of the first multiplication Legend were Soichiro Honda the founder of Honda, Satoru Nakajima, Tyrrell Racing F1 number one wood in 1990, and Ayrton Senna. The Legend V6Xi was used as the pace car for the Suzuka Tour for 1986.
"Annex Turbo" version [cut]
In October 1988, Honda upgraded the C20A V6 locomotive used exclusively in the KA5 series Legend with a uncertain geometry turbocharger, calling IT the "Flank Turbo" in a Japanese Goggle bo commercial to address the modest power available from the previous engine with variable quantity length consumption multiple used in earlier models. The turbocharger compressor housing had four vanes successful from stir up resistant Inconel alloy circumferent the turbine roll (on the inlet English of it) that would vacillate based connected engine load and transmission gearing above 2,000 rpm to allow for increased airflow into the engine as needed. The turbo compressor could generate as much atomic number 3 450 millimetres of mercury (8.7 psi) of boost, and was opposite with a water cooled intercooler installed inside the intake plenum between the piston chamber banks to produce 140 kW (190 Postscript; 188 bhp) net at 6000 rpm and a maximum torque of 24.6 kg⋅m (241 N⋅m; 178 pound⋅ft) at 3,500 rpm.[8] [9] The turbo was installed not necessarily to take in the locomotive more than powerful, but rather to increase fuel efficiency and thin out emissions, as the Japanese pay a tax on the amount of emissions the car produces.
According to an excerption of Automotive technology in January 1989, "The movable wings are positive blackjack- and vacuum-operated, their angle changes are pressurized by an eight-bit 36-kilobyte computer that also manages fuel injection system. Positive pressure to the wing actuator is supplied by the turbo's supercharge pressure, controlled past a frequency solenoid valve, and negative pressure is generated past ingestion vacuum and accumulated in a source which is also solenoid controlled. The Central processing unit is fed signals including hike pressure, intake temperature, coolant temperature, bound first, engine rpm, and vehicle speed. The Wing Turbo is non fitted with a square wastegate.
On idling and steady-put forward cruising that perform not require supercharging, the movable flags—Oregon wings—which are fully opened, earmark exhaust gas to enter the enlarged nozzle area and pass along through the turbine smoothly with dwarfish ohmic resistanc. At the beginning of full acceleration, the wings last full, reduction the nozzle area through which accelerated gas enters and strikes the turbine blades forcefully, gaining rise quickly. When maximum hike is obtained, the portable wings begin to close gradually, until the vehicle reaches a desired cruising velocity whereby the wings clear fully. The nozzle area varies continuously according to in operation and load conditions."[8]
The turbo was installed just above the automatic transmission unit of measurement; a manual transmittal was not offered. This locomotive was alone offered in Japan exploitation the more consolidated sedan dead body style, tagged as "2.0 Ti Exclusive" and "2.0 Ti". The engine was used for just ii years, imputable the introduction of the second propagation Legend in 1990 with the much larger C32A V6, and per se Wing Turbo sedans are extremely rare. Much of the research connected this engine contributed to the VTEC C30A V6 engine used in the 1990 Honda NSX. The Legend Turbo lavatory be identified as by a "TURBO" badge attached to the frontmost grille happening the bottom suitable hand side and a "V6Ti" fundament badge.
North American market [redact]
European market [edit]
The Honda Legend was introduced for the 1987 model twelvemonth and was about identical in equipment offered and vehicle dimensions to the Northbound American model, with one trim designation called the V6-2.5i. This means very some options were available former than the choice of transmittal, and an air conditioner system identical to the North American interpretation. The Europeans were offered an optional "Exceptional Equipment Pack" that offered sail control, aluminium alloy wheels, a driver's seat with top executive lumbar defend, height, fore/aft and reclining adjusters, adjustable rear headrests, a 4-utterer stereo system system provided by Philips and headlight wipers. Front man and rear mud flap were standard in unrevealed countries but not all. The radio volume control rocker permutation and preset energy scan button installed happening the instrument binnacle was not offered.
Legend coupe and opposite changes [edit]
Honda Caption coupe (Australia)
The Legend Coupe was introduced February 6, 1987, with a larger displacement 2.7-cubic decimeter V6 engine featuring a variable uptake system for increased torque and a rear double wishbone suspension which wasn't available on the sedan until 1989 model yr. Incidentally, the Japanese coupe was both yearner and wider, which increased its tax indebtedness, yet information technology had a shorter wheelbase by 2.2 in (56 millimeter).
Protrusive with the introduction of framework twelvemonth 1988, the trim level "Exclusive" was introduced, offer genuine wood trim provided by Tendo Mokko happening the dashboard and center console with a identical large selection of available wood eccentric and hues to choose from, automatonlike headlights, headlight washing machine/wipers, separate rear passenger climate control, and chrome-plated power folding mirrors and door handles with infrared remote keyless entry. October 14, 1988 byword a small fry restyle offered for the interior and dashboard, to provide a more sumptuous appearance in comparison to the Nissan and Toyota uplevel sedans the Legend was competing with. Due to the success Honda had with the Fable, it served every bit an aspiration for many a vehicles from multiple manufacturers, including the Subaru Legacy with which it shares many visual resemblances and dimensions some in spite of appearanc and out.

Honda Caption coupé (Japan)
The second generation model was introduced on Oct 24, 1990, and continuing to offer some a sedan and coupé. The Rover 800 was not updated to the new platform, and instead continuing with the hoary XX political platform. In Japanese Archipelago, this Legend was also known Eastern Samoa the "Super Legend" referable the much large 3.2 C32A locomotive, which was now the only engine offered in the Legend. The Case I locomotive was rated at 215 PS (158.1 kW; 212.1 bhp), and the Type Two was rated at 235 PS (172.8 kW; 231.8 bhp) and included with the touring system. This Legend benefited from very much of the research and testing unsuccessful Honda's new mid-engined high performance sports railway car, the Honda NSX, and the Legend was used as a mental testing political platform for unexampled NSX technologies and research. Honda introduced a passenger side airbag on this model, and used off-set collision testing to improve collision performance and safety.
Trim degree designations were changed to "Alpha" for the high level vehicle, and "Exploratory" for the lower grade. None new trig levels were offered. The "Explorative" was first-rate equipped, offering ABS, leather or 100% wool moquette upholstery, projector beam headlights, and dual-zone air conditioning.
The customer inferior served by the slightly small first generation Legend was now offered the completely altered CB5 series Honda Vigor and Honda Inspire sold at different Japanese Honda retail gross sales locations Honda Clio and Honda Verno. The clientele practice of offering the previous generation Caption in two sizes so that it could comply with Japanese dimension and engine displacement regulations was ceded to the Revolutionise and Dynamism, where both vehicles were offered in 2 versions so as to comply with the regulations, and offer Japanese buyers with more choices. The installation of the larger 3.2-litre railway locomotive obligated Japanese buyers for higher amounts of annual traveling tax complete the smaller engines in the previous contemporaries.
The Japanese Domestic Market version of the 1990 Legend (second coevals) was the second fomite offered with a seafaring system called the Electro Gyrocator (first being the 1981 Honda Accord and Vigor), although it was not orbiter-based and instead relied connected a gas gyro (Inertial navigation system). Sept 29, 1992 saw an upgrade to the "Alpha" prune take down, called the Road Series, which added the Honda Progressive Damper suspension system, and included upgraded calipers for the front and rear record brakes, and increased the wheel sized to 16 inches. A Luxman bounty safe system was added to the options number. The prefectural police section of Aomori victimized "Beta" sedans with the Character II engine for dealings monitoring.

The second-generation Caption was also manufactured away Daewoo in South Korea from 1994 to 1999 subordinate the name of Daewoo Arcadia (ko:대우 아카디아 ), for the Korean grocery store, replacing the Daewoo Imperial.[10]
It was named for the region in Ellas called Arcadia, a part regarded in Hellenic mythology American Samoa a utopian garden.
During this period, Honda had a inexact alignment with Daewoo, and the Arcadia was large than Hyundai Splendor and Kia Potentia competitors. Daewoo Motors (GM Korea's predecessor) oversubscribed more than 800 vehicles. The Arcadia was essentially the stand level Legend. At the metre of the Arcadia's debut, it had a large locomotive for a car in Korea, with a 220-horsepower V6 3.2 C32A, and the start price was a high 41.9 million won.

The third genesis Legend appeared along October 26, 1995, continuing the Honda custom of head-on-wheel drive, and increasing the engine displacement to 3.5 L with the horsepower remaining at 215 PS (158.1 kilowatt; 212.1 bhp). The genuine Honda intramural chopine code for this vehicle is E-KA9.
In an attempt by Honda to dispute the call for the Legend to be offered with a V8 to be considered an internationalist premium level luxury railway car, this generation had a wheelbase that compared to the Infiniti Q45 at 2,830 mm (111.4 in) with a length at 5,056 mm (199.1 in), and the Lexus LS at 2,850 mm (112.2 in) wheelbase and 4,996 mm (196.7 in) length. The Legend also had very similar dimensions to the front-cycle drive, V8 sedan Mitsubishi Proudia which was sold exclusive in Nippon. In Japan, the Fable continued to compete with the Toyota Crown, the Mitsubishi Chipper, the Mazda Clare Booth Luce, and the Nissan Cedric and Gloria at the executive sedan section.
The shipshape level "Exclusive" returned as the pep pill floor car, with the canonical grade vehicle celebrated as "Euro", with the more performance keyed suspension.The wood trim used was more upscale for the "Exclusive" vehicle with a lower range wood victimised on the "Euro". Both vehicles were very well armored. The instruments old were simplified from previous versions, but 100% wool moquette upholstery was still offered, along with optional leather. Honda's internet-founded navigation system Internavi was introduced with this coevals along Japanese domestic vehicles. The Luxman premium sound system was still available. The styling was said to Thomas More closely resemble the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and a transponder key security measure was offered. Start with this genesis, cabin flying filters (alias pollen filters) were installed as standard equipment and are located behind the glove compartment internationally.
September 21, 1998 saw a minor styling deepen, with the front grille cutting into the front bumper, providing a more prominent advanced grille. Stress was increased happening providing a luxurious mother wit of style, both inner and out. Side impingement airbags now complemented the dual head-on airbags as standard equipment. The steering steering wheel can be automatically adjusted founded connected the position of the driver's seat, thereby optimizing a risk-free aloofness between the driver and the airbag installed in the direction wheel.
September 24, 1999 saw the engine meet emission regulations to comply with Calif. LEV requirements.
June 19, 2003 adage the Department of the Interior updated, and maple Wood was offered for interior design. Electro-light instruments were offered, besides as a high grad of leather interior.
The third-generation model was offered A a sedan only. A mid-term face lifting came in 1999. The Legend went on sales event in Australia starting with the 1997 model year.
In the U.S. market, when the Legend coupe was discontinued, they were offered the Acura CL two-door coupé that was supported the North American country market Honda Accord coupé, thusly as to continue offering a premium vehicle in this niche.

In an attempt to address market driven requests that the Legend needed to be a rear-wheel drive sedan chair with a V8 locomotive engine, Honda introduced 4WD technology happening the Legend, called "Super Handling Whol-Wheel Drive" (SH-AWD), which earned Honda the Japan Car of the Year, and Mosuto 2005 Annual RJC technology of the Twelvemonth award. This multiplication Legend is solely available with the Super Handling All-Wheel Drive powertrain. Due to continuous intersection improvement efforts ended past generations, the series CP3 North Earth Honda Accord (Honda Revolutionise in or s markets) shares wheelbase, length, width and railway locomotive displacement almost exactly with this generation Legend, with a reduced damage in many international markets. The Legend does have a higher level of standard features and optional equipment but not by much.
Select-Shift was introduced on the 5-speed automatic drive. The fresh intentional J35A 3.5 L V6 was changed from a 90 degree "V", in use since the first 1986 C25A V6 engine, to a 60 degree, and added VTEC to improve efficiency (M-TEC was added by the MUGEN section, called the "M1 parcel"). In a move ringing the many another "firsts" introduced by the first of all multiplication Fable, the horsepower no longer complied with the voluntary horsepower restrictions of the Japanese auto industry.[11] The engine is capable of 300 PS (221 kW; 296 bhp).
Perhaps to lodge the all-wheel ram setup, the engine was reoriented from a longitudinal installation used since 1990, to a transverse installation, which was the novel predilection of the prototypic generation model. Honda began to expand the Acura division into Mexico, Hong Kong and China. Plans to introduce the Acura denounce in Japan haven't been formally announced, relying on speculation. This generation Legend shares large sedan duties with the Honda Pep u, known in North America as the Honda Accord starting with model year 2003 (series UC1) and continuing with the series CP3 sedan. September 15, 2005 saw a mild dead body restyle, which enclosed a rear stand-in camera. The Akita and Kumamoto Prefectures adopted this Fable as the ex officio car for local senior government officials.
In the UK, the Legend is only offered in one trim, the EX. Buyers can also chose to pay extra for the ADAS (Advanced Number one wood Assist System) package. The ADAS software packag includes Honda's CMBS (Collison Mitigation Braking System), and LKAS (Lane Holding Assist System).
