2023 Ford Puma Price Review | Cost Of Ownership | Features | Practicality | Models | Optional Extras

After waiting years to receive the Ford Puma in South Africa it is finally here but the biggest talking point has been its pricing.
So in this review we discuss if Ford got the pricing right or missed the mark ? We look at both models of Puma , talk about the optional extras and compare the differences between Titanium and ST-Line Vignale models.
As always practicality and cost of ownership takes center stage.

    My beef with the Puma is definitely the pricing, too much money for what you get. Yes it looks good enough but for less than R100 000 you can get yourself a 1.3L TCe Renault Captur Intens with 113kW(154PS) and 270nm of torque, also with a 7 speed EDC gearbox. It looks like Ford has gone the VW way with optional extras.

    I bought one 3 months ago. In Romania i pay almost 22000 euros for a st-line with sunroof, 155 bhp with manual transmition. Everything is good till now. I had a 1500 km trip in mountains (city streets, intercity and highways) with a consumption of 6.1 lt/100 km witch is good for speeds from 30-40 km/h to 130-140 km/h.

Regarding the Puma, I share your enthusiasm for the car, but also can't help but feel they may have overlooked a pricing opportunity. Perhaps there's a chance for them to adjust - let's keep an eye out for any changes!

    1.5l is only for the ST Puma and ST Fiesta, it's the latest ecoboost called Dragon with 3 zylinders, the older 1.5l 4 zylinder was only in the Focus and Fusion models in S.A. Quite a peppy 134kW engine but needs proper warmup before demanding serious power. I have it on my Focus and it goes.

Sure it might not have all the extras but im sure a better specced T-roc 1.4TSI will be far better than what the Puma has to offer.

    Puma was much cheaper before the war in Ukraine and before the pandemic. These two events affected the industry in Europe pretty badly, as Ukraine was one of the sources for affordable parts (now it's mostly destroyed by Russia).

    I would add R150k and buy an Audi A1 or Q2, or Merc A-class.
