Which version to choose

All listed Renault Talisman versions are FWD Turbo Inline 4. Choice is between Estate 5-door (1 generation, 2015–2020, cards from 2016) and Sedan (restyling, 2020–2021), then between Gasoline and Diesel, then between Manual and Robotic.

Lowest measured combined consumption: 1.5 MT at 3.7 L/100 km (CO₂ 98). 1.5 EDC is next at 3.8. Both are 110 hp, 12.2 s to 100 km/h, 185 km/h — the slowest pair in the set.

Strongest diesel torque: 2.0 Blue dCi EDC 200 hp at 400 Nm. In 1 generation the diesel peak is 1.6 EDC 160 hp at 380 Nm.

Strongest gasoline power: 1.8 EDC and both 1.8 TCe EDC at 225 hp / 300 Nm. Restyling 1.8 TCe EDC (1487 kg) posts 7.4 s; 1 generation 1.8 EDC posts 7.5 s and 7.2 combined versus restyling combined 7.4. City/highway on restyling are not measured, so a city/highway comparison with 1.8 EDC (city 9.9, highway 5.7) cannot be completed from this data.

If the name 1.6 EDC is the target, four cards share it: Gasoline 150 hp and 200 hp (1618 cm³, 7-speed Robotic), Diesel 130 hp and 160 hp (1598 cm³, 6-speed Robotic). The 200 hp Gasoline card is 2.0 s quicker than the 150 hp Gasoline card; the 160 hp Diesel card is 1.6 s quicker than the 130 hp Diesel card and uses 0.2 more combined L/100 km (4.6 vs 4.4).

If the name 1.8 MT is the target, pick 120 hp or 150 hp: identical city 5.4, highway 4.2, combined 4.6, CO₂ 122; the 150 hp card is 1.7 s quicker and 12 km/h faster.

1.7 Blue dCi MT 4Control is the only name with 4Control. It remains FWD. Versus 1.7 Blue dCi MT (1533 kg) it is 0.6 s quicker and 6 km/h faster, with combined 6 vs 5 and CO₂ 158 vs 131.
