The Cup revisions have been received well by residual value experts, who expect the most hardcore small Renault to have among the best residuals in the Clio range.
After three years and 30,000 miles, the Cup is predicted to hold onto 47% of its original worth. To put this into context, the equivalent, less compromised, Vauxhall Corsa VXR returns 45%.
However, both cars pale into insignificance on the residual front when compared with the class-best Mini Cooper S, which retains an outstanding 56% of its value come resale.
