Aimed at the top level segment, which is mostly dominated by Mercedes, BMW and Volkswagen for a long time, Renault finally comes with an answer with its newly designed Renault Talisman. Its predecessor Laguna Saloon sale declined continuously for past few years due to reliability problems and stiff competition from BMW and Mercedes. Only 16000 units of Laguna III were sold last year in Europe, and launching of freshly designed Talisman at this time will definitely boost Renault’s hope in this segment.
