Cheapest Puma
Ford has a long and storied history in South Africa, and has a laundry list of accolades and wins like Car of the Year for the new Ranger and one of the largest vehicle assembly plants in the southern hemisphere. The Ford South Africa lineup became considerably thin in recent years, with the Focus, Figo, Kuga, Fusion, and even Fiesta, all falling by the wayside but Ford has dipped their toes back in again with the new Puma.

Verdict
The ST Vignale dials up the style factor and extra luxury elements, but the Titanium is a fairly comprehensive package that doesn't really leave you wanting more. There are also plenty of Titaniums up for sale on our website, which you can check out for some great pricing. With this in mind, we believe the Puma in Titanium trim is the cheapest Ford Puma. - Tayedza Mbiri
