The Talisman is built to the very highest quality standards and meticulous attention has been paid to every detail, including, notably, the depth and lustre of its paint.

Low running costs, plus low fuel consumption and CO2 emissions also figure prominently amongst the Talisman's core strengths.

The 2016 Renault Talisman, together with the Estate version - which features the same qualities as the saloon - is poised to play an active part in the renewal and upgrading of Renault's high-end range. Both vehicles will be manufactured at the firm's Douai plant in France.

Following its unveil to the media on July 6, 2015, the Renault Talisman - along with the Estate version - will be presented at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show, which opens its gates to the public on September 17. The Talisman will be available for sale in Europe at the end of 2015.

A name that embodies the strengths of Renault's saloon

Renault selects names for its models that symbolise their design and personality across all markets where they are sold.

True to this tradition, the Talisman has been given a charismatic name that conjures up notions of both protection and power. At the same time, Talisman is an easy word to pronounce and is understood the world over.

This three-syllable name rolls easily and naturally off the tongue, yet it asserts the model's powerful personality and the energy it radiates. The combination of the model's strong, racy lines and innovative technologies express protection and safety.

The Talisman delivers intense driving enjoyment grounded in a genuinely sensorial experience.

Saloon car essentials

For the Talisman, Renault designers opted for a three-box body style. The saloon layout - with a distinct boot - picks up on the universally accepted design practice for this type of car, whilst simultaneously blending Renault's warm and friendly DNA into the mix.

To reinterpret the rulebook, Renault's designers went back to basics to establish the ideal proportions and perfect balance between the different volumes. An overall length of 4.85 metres and a width of 1.87 metres endows the Talisman with a generous footprint that is beneficial to interior space and underscores the distinguished apperance expected of a car of this stature.

Renault's designers and engineers worked closely together to keep the roof height to just 1.46 metres and to control ground clearance. They also achieved the ideal one-third / two-thirds ratio between the glazed areas and body panels, plus a 2.81 metres long wheelbase. The long bonnet adds dynamism to the Talisman's profile, and the large diameter wheels (up to 19-inches) are a snug fit within their sculpted arches.

Sleek styling

The Talisman is powerful and inspires confidence from the front with its distinctive chrome grille featuring the brand's upright diamond logo. Renault's new visual signature continues through the Talisman's C-shaped daytime running lights, which extend right down to the bumper. Depending on the version, the Talisman can be equipped with 100% 'pure vision' LED headlights.

The side profile is enhanced by the dynamic shape of the third side window, evoking the world of luxury limousines and the visual promise of generous space inside. The use of chrome underscores the elegance of the Talisman's silhouette, with a strip running the perimeter of the side windows and another on the moulding that straddles the front wing and door. This arrow-shaped feature taps into the design language of sporting cars to suggest performance and aerodynamic efficiency.

The low, broad-shouldered rear incorporates distinctive tail light clusters that extend inwards towards the centreline of the boot. Their elongated shape underscores the car's grounded stance while drawing attention to the Renault logo. 3D-effect lighting provides the Talisman with a powerful visual signature. These lights are always switched on - even during the daytime - to further reinforce their visual impact.

The Renault Talisman offers a choice of ten body colours:

    Nine metallic finishes: Pearlescent White, Dune Beige, Cosmos Blue, Vison Brown, Cassiopée Grey, Platine Grey, Etoilé Black, Carmin Red, Améthyste Black (Initiale Paris versions).
    One non-metallic finish: Glacier White.

All paint options feature a high-durability lacquer coat providing added lustre and a higher level of resistance.

Five alloy wheel designs (depending on the market): 16-inch Sequence wheels, 17- inch Bayadere wheels, 18-inch Erbé Grey diamond-effect Duetto wheels, 19-inch Erbé Grey diamond-effect Alizarine wheels and 19-inch black Initiale Paris diamondeffect wheels.

An interior that blends warmth, clean lines and quality

Reinterpreting classical design cues to reflect the themes of the exterior styling, Renault's designers conceived an interior that is welcoming and high in quality.

2016 KIA Optima Concpet for Halloween

2016 KIA Optima Concpet for Halloween Read for launch , and this is a review, It's that special time of year again when all the strange automotive creatures come to life to celebrate Halloween the annual SEMA Show.

Kia is an active player at this year’s event in Las Vegas brining four new custom-built vehicles, including the pictured A1A Optima based on the new generation of their sedan that’s named after Florida’s A1A highway.

The Korean carmaker has announced two more conceptual tunes, the Forte Koup Mud Bogger and Pacwest Adventure Sorento extreme off-roaders, but is keeping the fourth model a secret - for now.

2016 KIA Optima Concpet for Halloween has a future for 2016 , As far as the teal-colored A1A Optima is concerned, Kia turned its latest mid-size sedan into a four-door roadster of sorts by chopping off the roof and shortening its windshield, while giving it a…proper SEMA style makeover with suicide rear doors, 20-inch wheels bolted on a lowered Ksport suspension, and a chrome trimmed face.

On the inside, the Korean brand’s U.S. arm placed what they describe as, “soft butter-cream leather bucket seats up front and custom double buckets in back separated by extended armrests and a custom center console”.

The only upgrade under the hood is a high-performance exhaust for the otherwise stock 245hp 2.0-liter turbocharged four.

Subaru Impreza Concept New Model for 2016

Subaru Impreza Concept New Model for 2016 future read it , With the Impreza Concept being one of the most interesting cars at the Tokyo Motor Show, it was only a matter of time until we saw it rendered into something we can all look forward to.

 

 If the real life next-generation model would look precisely like this rendering, it might just be the one of the sportiest and most aggressive-looking cars in its segment. And keep in mind, the C-segment currently doesn't really have anything that will blow you away with its appearance.

For one, the all-new Opel Astra came out recently and while there's nothing really wrong with the way it looks, would it really hold a candle to the Impreza if indeed Subaru would keep the body design low, wide and muscular? If we had a magic 8-Ball, it would probably reply using the words 'Hell' and 'No', in that order.

So Subaru Impreza Concept New Model for 2016 then let's spot the differences between this rendering and the Impreza Concept that debuted in Tokyo. First of all, the spoiler has been toned down (despite keeping its original shape) and the fog lights are simple and round instead of slightly pointy.

Up next, the headlights have been completely removed from the realm of fantasy and brought into reality - which is something the Photoshoper accomplished really well. And while the grille is the same, the wheels feature a less spectacular design, as one would expect from a production model.

Looking at the profile, we can easily notice the addition of practical door handles and mirrors, with the latter being placed on the doors themselves like on the current generation Impreza or Levorg.

Moving on to the rear of the car, the taillights maintain a very dynamic design, though aren't split in the middle anymore like the ones on the concept car.

2015 Toyota Yaris Hybrid R Concept Review

2015 Toyota Yaris Hybrid R Concept Review , Toyota return to the World Rally Championship (WRC) with the Yaris WRC may result in a road-going variant as well.

 

What’s the use of competing in the world’s top rallying competition if you can’t transfer some of the WRC kudos to your production cars too?

Toyota is well aware of that and aims to give VW’s Polo GTI and Ford’s Fiesta ST a run for their money with a performance version for the Yaris supermini. Toyota’s chief engineer for sports vehicle management, Tetsuya Tada, told Motoring that the world’s largest car maker needs a hot hatch.

“We need a real hot hatch for the brand, because we are returning to WRC in 2017. What do you think of the Yaris?” Tada asked rhetorically. While Toyota already sells a 150hp turbocharged Yaris in Japan, called the Vitz GRMN Turbo, the new hot hatch model is likely to be significantly more powerful and available worldwide.

2015 Toyota Yaris Hybrid R Concept Review read is “My job is to create a really exciting hot hatch. There is an order from Akio-san. Rally is the priority,” the executive said, noting that Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda is pushing for the project. This may mean that the Yaris hot-hatch could arrive much sooner than other high-performance models Tetsuya Tada is working on, including the upcoming Supra.

The engineer also said the Yaris hot hatch will have to beat the Fiesta ST and Polo GTI, and the car’s most important part will be the engine which will feature a “big turbo.” An uprated suspension and a more aggressive design are also needed if the Yaris hot-hatch is to compete with the aforementioned rivals.

Nissan Juke Tokyo Motor Show 2016

Nissan Juke Tokyo Motor Show 2016 Review , While Nissan first launched their personalization program for the Juke back in 2012, the newer facelifted model only started getting the special treatment last year.

By no, you're all familiar with the Juke. It's that small quirky crossover that used to communicate to other drivers that its owner is somebody who is tired of driving "just another car". In fact, in 2013 the Juke dominated its segment in terms of European sales, ahead of the Dacia Duster and Renault Captur.

In 2014 and 2015, with the help of a subtle facelift, the Juke managed to keep things on an even keel as it also had to deal with the surging Peugeot 2008 and Opel Mokka. However, it always managed to convince potential customers to open up their bank accounts, and financially speaking that was the most important thing for Nissan.

Nissan Juke Tokyo Motor Show 2016, The main idea behind the Juke Personalization Program was to take an already vibrant car and make it even easier for customers to get their personality across when configuring their new Nissan crossover.

Of course by then, the Juke was already looking more impressive on paper (facelift), thanks to the addition of the 370Z-like Xenon headlights, an increased boot space, new range of alloys and a new 1.2 liter turbocharged petrol engine. Customers could also choose to get NissanConnect and the Nissan Safety Shield systems as optional extras, to go with their heavily personalized Juke.

Fast forward to today, and the Juke is still a strong performer in its segment, while the Personalization Program is still churning out unique-looking units. The two Jukes that Nissan brought to the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show look particularly delightful. The thoroughly yellow one is very similar to their press release car from 2014, while the two-tone model features a very nice blue & silver color combo.

Mini Cooper Convertible Tokyo Motor Show 2015

Mini Cooper Convertible Tokyo Motor Show 2015, Knowing that in Japan the retro-craze is ever-blooming, we imagine Mini’s new product creating a stir at the Tokyo Motor Show.

In fact, Automotive News reports that the British car manufacturer chose Tokyo to publicly-premier its brand-new product because, according to Peter Schwarzenbauer – BMW AG board member for Mini and Rolls-Royce – Mini sales in Japan rose 29 percent in September (to 12,800 cars), while global sales rose 18 percent during the same period.

Mini Cooper Convertible Tokyo Motor Show 2015, Moreover, the board member expects Mini to set a sales record in the Japanese market this year, stating: “We are seeing more Mini fans - a lot more people are open to design in Japan and like the looks of Mini,”

Gee, we wonder why? Anyway, the new Cooper Convertible has grown in size, being 44mm wider, 98mm longer, but just 1 mm taller, compared to the previous generation. Still, even if it’s slightly “puffed”, its British charm is still there and the car looks fresh – which is a tough stunt to pull when designing every time a retro-inspired model with the same characteristics.

The convertible will share its powerplants with the rest of the line-up, although it will probably suffer a loss in performance due to its increased weight added by the structural changes in the chassis and electric roof mechanism. As a matter of fact, the Convertible is around 120kg (265 pounds) heavier than its close-top counterpart. And yes, you still have to call it a “Mini”.

Daihatsu Concept Kei-Cars Tokyo Motor Show 2016

Daihatsu Concept Kei-Cars Tokyo Motor Show 2016 is the best place to see some authentic kei cars, and no one knows more about small-sized automobiles than Daihatsu.

We’re inclined to think that Daihatsu knows its way around a kei car, because it’s oldest Japanese automobile manufacturer. In fact, in its long history, the Toyota-owned company constructed countless models and spawned a plethora of concepts, becoming one of the most prolific kei-car builders in Japan. And here are its latest creations.

Complying with the car manufacturer’s “Your heart will race” theme for the 44th edition of the Tokyo Motor Show, the Nori Ori, Tempo and D-Base are three small concepts, each based with a mobility idea in mind.

Daihatsu Concept Kei-Cars Tokyo Motor Show 2016, The Nori Ori (which roughly translates as “getting in and out”) is described as a "multi-use commuter of the near future". It was built to create an easy access – mainly for people with disabilities – in a car with compact proportions and, as its name implies, focuses on getting in and out of it with ease. It has 2-way access doors that open widely, a retractable slope and a floor lift. Its roomy cabin has enough space to carry two unfolded wheelchairs.

The Tempo presents the idea of “a new genre-space commercial vehicle” – as Daihatsu describes it – which creates a new class of mini mobile retail outlets. Imagine it as a kei ice-cream van, only selling other products. The model measures 1,995mm in height and comes equipped with with facilities for product sales or cooking.

Last but not least is the D-base, which is actually the only car in the trio that previews a production model. Daihatsu says it embodies its next generation of compact cars (most likely the Mira model) and it features the car maker’s e:S fuel-efficiency technologies.

Mazda's new RX-VISION concept

Mazda's new RX-VISION concept looks even more spectacular in the flesh.

This amazing concept is Mazda’s way of telling us that the RX model linage is not dead and it still represents an important part of the Japanese car maker’s identity. Now, bear in mind that the RX-VISION is just a concept-car, and it will probably remain that way for quite some time – or at least until Mazda sorts everything up with its rotary program.

 

Yes, it hides a Wankel engine under the hood, and yes, it offers a glimpse into the Japanese car maker’s future, but for now (at least) it remains a study, as Mazda stated:

It “represents a vision of the future that Mazda hopes to one day make into reality; a front-engine, rear-wheel drive sports car” with “KODO design-based proportions” that’s powered by the next-generation SKYACTIV-R rotary engine”.

Speaking of proportions, its clever design cues might make it appear bigger than it actually is. In fact, measuring 4,389mm long, 1,925mm wide and 1,160mm tall the RX-VISION is smaller than the RX-8, albeit wider.

In fact, it’s overall aspect, with the elongated hood and shortened rear-end, makes it reminiscent of a grand tourer, only with Mazda’s own take and style built into it. But we can’t imagine it as a mile-munching automobile, especially as it comes with a 10,000 rpm rev limiter and a manual gearbox.
