Renault Talisman 2017: Sophistique
Renault Talisman too has similar Korean origins like its predecessor Safrane. However, there is something French about the car apart from the badge itself, and I suspect it is the minimalism that greets you inside. THE DIMENSIONS in mm: 4848 x 2081 (door mirrors open) x 1752 (boot lid open) …
