Opel South Africa, part of Stellantis, announces its partnership as the Official Vehicle Partner for the return of the iconic lifestyle programme Top Billing on S3.
As Top Billing makes its long-awaited return this April, Opel will take centre stage, with a selection of its vehicles featured prominently throughout the new season. These include the bold Mokka, the flagship Grandland SUV, and the ever-popular Corsa – each reflecting Opel’s commitment to progressive design, German engineering, and everyday driving enjoyment.
Throughout the series, presenters will travel across South Africa in Opel vehicles as they explore inspiring destinations, celebrate local talent, and showcase aspirational lifestyles. The partnership will also extend internationally, with a special episode filmed at Opel’s headquarters in Germany, further reinforcing the brand’s global heritage and engineering expertise.
This collaboration highlights Opel’s focus on connecting with modern South African audiences through culturally relevant platforms that reflect innovation, design and ambition.
“This partnership represents a strong alignment between Opel and a programme that has long set the benchmark for lifestyle and aspirational storytelling in South Africa,” says Thuto Mohlala, Brand Manager, Opel South Africa. “Within Stellantis South Africa, Opel plays an important role in a multi-brand portfolio that leverages global scale and shared technologies, with a strong focus on regional growth opportunities. South Africa remains a key growth market for the Group, and Opel continues to focus on delivering accessible mobility and strong customer experience in this context, while building long-term brand equity in the market.
Partnering with Top Billing provides a powerful platform to showcase Opel vehicles not only as modes of transport, but as enablers of modern mobility and everyday success. It reinforces Opel’s positioning as a brand that delivers comfort and practicality for a new generation of drivers.”
“Having Opel as our Official Vehicle Partner for this new season is a natural fit,” says Patience Stevens, Managing Director at Cardova Productions and Executive Producer of Top Billing. “As we travel across South Africa to uncover stories of innovation, creativity and success, we need partners that reflect the same spirit. Opel brings a strong sense of design, reliability and purpose to the journey, while also enhancing the way we visually tell these stories on screen. We are delighted to have them on board for this new chapter.”
