Australasian specifications may vary and therefore models sold in Australasia might provide different levels of protection to those described on this page. Model History and Safety Features The tested model of Honda Legend was introduced in Australia and New Zealand during 2006. Dual front airbags, side airbags and head-protecting side curtains are standard equipment. Antilock brakes (ABS), electronic brake distribution (EBD) and electronic stability control (ESC) are also standard. Intelligent seat belt reminders are fitted to all seats. The front seat belt buckles are mounted on the seats and the upper anchorages are adjustable. These features improve the fit of the seat belt. Pre-tensioners are fitted to the front seat belts to reduce slack in the event of a crash. A three point seat belt is fitted to the centre rear seat. This provides better protection than a two point (lap) seat belt.

Body region scores out of 4 points each: Head/neck 4 pts, chest 4 pts, upper legs 2 pts, lower legs 3.2 pts. The passenger compartment held its shape well in the offset crash test. The brake pedal moved rearwards by 98 mm and upwards 17 mm. The steering wheel hub moved forwards 6mm, downwards 25mm and sideways 5 mm. The front ("A") pillar moved 14 mm rearwards. All doors remained closed during the crash. After the crash high effort was required to open the driver’s door. The airbag cushioned the head of the driver and contact was stable. Steering column components were a potential source of injury for the driver’s knees. The passenger’s head was cushioned by the airbag. Glove box components were a potential source of knee injury for the passenger.

SIDE IMPACT CRASH TEST (v4.1)
Body region scores out of 4 points each: Head 4 pts, chest 4 pts, abdomen 4 pts, pelvis 4 pts. Door modifier 1 pt.
