Ford Figo
Ford’s Figo has always played the budget card hard, slotting into the B-segment as a practical sedan or hatch that doesn’t pretend to be anything it's not. You’re looking at a space crowded with Polo Vivo sedans, Suzuki Swifts, and Toyota Starlets, all fighting for the commuter’s hard-earned cash. But here’s the thing: Ford’s not selling the Figo new anymore, so every one of the 31 listings out there is pre-owned. That says plenty about its commercial fate. Most Figos run on petrol, though you’ll spot a few diesels and semi-automatics if you dig. Prices stretch from R69,500 up to R219,995, with a median at R149,900, so this is honest, entry-level motoring that won’t nuke your bank account every month. If you’re scraping the bottom of the budget, the 1.4 Ambiente is the ticket, with nine examples between R69,500 and R99,995. On paper at least, sub-R100k gets you four wheels, an aircon that works, and papers in order—no more, no less. Average mileage sits at 137,610 km, and you’ll find cars from as far back as 2011 up to 2022, so expect everything from tired to tidy. The 1.5 Trend hatch mostly comes in at R159,900 to R169,900, and that’s probably the sweet spot for a buyer who wants a little more kit. Sure, the Figo won’t match the Polo Vivo for badge snobbery or the Starlet for showroom freshness. But it delivers low buy-in and affordable running costs—and if you’re after a first car or something to fill the school run gap, that matters.
Ford
Ford’s reputation as the bakkie brand in South Africa isn’t just marketing — the stats back it up. Scroll through the 850 Ford listings and you’ll see prices from a humble R67,500 to a sky-high R1,580,000, but it’s the R479,900 median that tells the real story: this isn’t a bargain-basement badge angling for the cheapest deal. Ford’s got real presence where it counts, with 199 new and 651 used vehicles showing that there’s appetite for both the entry-level and the upmarket stuff. The competition is fierce — Toyota, Isuzu, Volkswagen — but Ford keeps its foothold by blending capability with a dealer network that actually covers rural and urban South Africa. Most buyers aren’t just commuters; these are owner-drivers who need their vehicle to earn its keep, not just look good in the Spar parking lot. Ranger runs the show, no question. With 449 listings between R109,000 and R1,335,000, that’s everything from a work-worn fleet special to a Raptor that makes you think twice about chasing Land Cruisers up Sani Pass. Everest brings the same basics but for families, offering seven seats and a price range from R112,900 to R1,310,331. If you’re after something smaller, EcoSport and Fiesta fill the city-car and compact SUV slots, with used Fiestas dipping to R67,500 — if you pack smart, they’ll handle Joburg traffic or Durban rain. Bakkies and SUVs make up most of the action, petrol and diesel are still king, and while plug-in hybrids barely register, Ford’s habit of loading cabins with more tech than rivals at the same money is what the Ranger should have been from the start. That matters.
