The Renault Talisman is Coming
The all-new Renault Talisman is set to launch next year and thanks to its size, efficient powertrains, multiple handling options and reliability it is sure to be a world beater. The Talisman also comes with Renault’s respected Multi-Sense driving control system, which means that when you’re driving the Talisman you’ll have the ability to change the drive settings to affect the performance of the engine, steering and electronic damping.
The Tech Behind the Renault Talisman
As would be expected from an automotive manufacturer such as Renault there is some new ground-breaking technology in the form of the 4CONTROL four-wheel-steering system that is included in the Talisman build. This permanently active system helps to improve the manoeuvrability of the vehicle at speeds under 80kph and improve the stability of the car at speeds in excess of 90kph.
There is also all of the latest Renault Connectivity options available to choose from, which allows the driver and passengers to take advantage of the R-Link 2 System. This gives the driver and front-seat passenger the ability to operate the Talisman’s 8.7-inch portrait display panel in the centre of the dashboard as if it were a tablet.
Good Looks and Cost Effective Engine Options
We could wax lyrical about how good looking the new Renault Talisman is but the truth, in this case, is that pictures say it better than words.

But looks are not all that the Talisman has to offer, as there are 3 four-cylinder turbocharged engines that prospective Talisman owners can choose from:

- The 1.6-liter diesel engine
- The 1.5-liter diesel engine
