Renault Talisman, the flagship of french Renault brand, replaces two models: Renault Laguna and Renault Latitude. The name Talisman was used by Renault Latitude in China before 2015, when the all-new Talisman was launched. Renault made in 2001 a concept car named Talisman but is has nothing to do with the series production variant launched 14 years later. The car featured here is one of the first Renault’s equipped with a 1.6-litre bi-turbo diesel engine.
