Product Overview

Renault Talisman is a large sedan in production from 2015 to 2020, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.3 to 2.0 liters.
In typical French fashion, Renault gave the Talisman all the engines that it could find from the parts bin and paired them to several manual or DCT (marketed as EDC) transmissions. Moreover, it cannot resist giving them beautiful names that contradict reality: Dirty diesels are called "Blue", while wasteful (for replacement parts) ones are called "ECO".
Still, we should respect the fact that Renault made the effort to release a large family car amongst its long list of hatchbacks and crossovers. Unfortunately, it omitted fully independent suspensions.
Renault has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.27 coefficient of drag to show for it. The official fuel economy rating is exceptionally rosy, though it may cast more doubts on the trustworthiness of the regulators and perhaps the owner's own sanity than it relates to reality.
It should be noted that Renault's 4CONTROL is an an-wheel steering technology. The vehicle is FWD-only.
