Popular South African rugby union player, Siya Kolisi’s wife Rachel is topping trends after she was spotted with a highly sought-after Mercedes-Benz, which costs a fortune.
Mrs Kolisi recently took to Instagram to share photos from her recent shoot, but one of her photos, standing next to a sleek Mercedes-Benz GLA 200, stole the attention of petrolheads.
No doubt, Rachel Kolisi’s photo has been making rounds online, with several petrolheads approving the car.
After all, her huge social media following often thrusts her into top trends whenever she posts.
However, little is known about Rachel Kolisi, who owns the sleek car that has since thrust her into trends.
Petrolheads were quick to implicate the car’s price tag into the mix, while others praised its performance and extras for making it one of the best Mercedes-Benzs within the GLA line.
According to Mercedes-Benz, the car’s base price tag is R940 585, and 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 at several dealerships nationwide.

Last year, Layla Kolbe made headlines when she shared photos of the Mercedes-Benz 4Matic, which was worth millions. Like Rachel Kolisi, she didn’t openly confirm that the car was hers.
However, over the years, Springboks wags have had the opportunity to drive around some of the Mercedes-Benzs thanks to their husband’s partnership with the German automobile.
Cheslin Kolbe, Siya Kolisi, and Eben Etzebeth are some Springboks players who are ‘Friends of the Brand.’
Over the years, Mercedes-Benz SA has gifted them with some of the finest Mercs in the world to drive around with.
In 2021, Siya Kolisi joined a range of elite athletes worldwide who are “friends of the brand” for Mercedes-Benz, including tennis legend Roger Federer, F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton, and golfer Rickie Fowler.
At the time, the two were given brand-new Mercedes: Siya had a Mercedes-Benz G-Class, and Rachel Kolisi had a Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupé.
However, at some point, Siya Kolisi and his wife Rachel hogged headlines when it was reported that they had an impressive car collection worth R20 million.
Against the rumours, the power couple rubbished the claims and made it known that was a lie.
The two might not have an R20 million car collection, but over the years, they have been spotted driving some of the flashiest cars on the market, which include:
Ranger Rover Sport
Two Mercedes-Benz SUVs
Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon
