Rachel Kolisi has swapped driving luxury brands like Mercedes-Benz and Land Rovers for a more affordable ride, a Yaris!
Despite being the former wife of Springbok captain Siya Kolisi, Rachel has been praised for her humility and simplicity.
RACHEL KOLISI ‘DOWNGRADES’ TO AFFORDABLE CAR
In a since-deleted Instagram post, Rachel Kolisi posted a series of pictures of her latest ride – an old Toyota Yaris. In the post, the former Springbok WAG rode around in the modest vehicle, which she also used to pick up her ex Siya Kolisi’s sister Liphelo.
The influencer and philanthropist captioned the post: “Life has a funny way of humbling you just when you think you’ve got it all figured out. One day you’re riding high, the next you’re asking a friend to borrow their spare car and googling ‘how to parallel park a Yaris with dignity.’
The mother-of-two added: “It’s not forever. It’s just a chapter. But honestly? Betsy (the car) and I are kind of vibing, and I still nail clutch control.”

Just hours earlier, Rachel had posted pictures of her “last day” in her Mercedes-Benz.
It’s unclear if the luxury car was hers or possibly a brand endorsement deal.
ANOTHER YARIS DRIVER
Rachel Kolisi isn’t the only Capetonian who will be hitting the road in a Yaris. Former DA leader Helen Zille revealed in March that she would be finally upgrading her trusted Corsa of 25 years to another affordable option.
In the comments section, Helen was asked what car she would be driving next.
“A Toyota Yaris,” she responded.
According to Toyota, the Yaris debuted in South Africa in 2005 and quickly became one of their best-selling models globally. In recent years, “slow sales” have seen the popular car being discontinued in countries around the world.
