She hasn’t openly confirmed if the car is hers or part of her ambassadorial deal with Mercedes-Benz SA, which she tagged on the now-viral photos.
The post alone left many convinced that ‘there was no love lost between the brand and Rachel’ after her divorce from Siya Kolisi.
In recent years, Mercedes-Benz SA has tagged along several Springbok stars as brand ambassadors, including Siya Kolisi.

Several wags, including Rachel at the time, have had the opportunity to be part of the brand, just like their partners.
Despite her divorce from Siya, Rachel Kolisi still has some close ties with Mercedes-Benz SA. Surprisingly this is not the first time she has been spotted with a sleek Merc.
In August, she hogged headlines when she was spotted taking a spin with a Mercedes-Benz GLA
According to Mercedes-Benz, the car’s base price tag is R940 585. However, its Guaranteed Future Value is 60.81% based on 200 000 km pa.
However, prices tend to differ because of the year of manufacture, trims and extras. A brand new Mercedes-Benz GLA 200 in South Africa has a base price tag of around R1 million.
MAKING HEADLINES
In 2021, Siya Kolisi joined a range of elite athletes worldwide who are “friends of the brand” for Mercedes-Benz.
Some of the athletes include tennis legend Roger Federer, F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton, and golfer Rickie Fowler.
At the time, Siya and Rachel were given brand-new Mercedes: Siya had a Mercedes-Benz G-Class, and Rachel Kolisi had a Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupé.
Siya Kolisi and his ex-wife Rachel hogged headlines against the news of their rumoured fleet worth R20 million.
Against the rumours, they rubbished the claims and made it known that was a lie. However, over the years, they have been spotted driving some of the flashiest cars on the market, which include:
Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon
Ranger Rover Sport
Two Mercedes-Benz SUVs
