Ford's new S-MAX will return class-leading residual values according to EurotaxGlass's.

EurotaxGlass's said the S-MAX 2.0 TDCi Zetec is expected to retain approximately 42% of its residual value after 60,000 miles/three years.

This performance exceeds the Mitsubishi Grandis 2.0 DiD Classic (39%), the Toyota Corolla Verso 2.2 D-4D T180 (41%) and the Vauxhall Zafira 1.9CDTi SRi (36%).

Priced from £16,995, the S-MAX goes on sale in June.
