The 2015 Opel range in South Africa comprises the [[Opel Adam]], [[Opel Astra]], [[Opel Corsa#Corsa D|Opel Corsa]], [[Opel Meriva]], [[Opel Mokka]], and [[Opel Vivaro B|Opel Vivaro]]. No [[diesel engine|diesel]] versions are offered.

From 1986 to 2003, Opel models were produced by [[Delta Motor Corporation]], a company created through a management buyout following of GM's [[Disinvestment from South Africa|divestment]] from [[South Africa under apartheid|apartheid South Africa]]. Delta assembled the Opel Kadett, with the sedan version called the Opel Monza. This was replaced by the [[Opel Astra#South African models|Opel Astra]], although the Kadett name was retained for the hatchback and considered a separate model. A version of the [[Opel Rekord Series E#Opel Rekord in South Africa|Rekord Series E]] remained in production after the model had been replaced by the [[Opel Omega|Omega]] in Europe, as was a [[Opel Commodore C|Commodore]] model unique to South Africa, combining the bodyshell of the Rekord with the front end of the revised Senator. The Opel Corsa was introduced in 1996, with kits of the [[Brazil]]ian-designed sedan and pick-up (known in [[South African English]] as a ''bakkie'') being locally assembled.

Although GM's passenger vehicle line-up in South Africa consisted of Opel-based models by the late 1970s, these were sold under the Chevrolet brand name, with only the [[Opel Kadett#South Africa|Kadett]] being marketed as an Opel when it was released in 1980. In 1982, the Chevrolet brand name was dropped, with the [[Opel Ascona|Ascona]], [[Opel Rekord|Rekord]], [[Opel Commodore|Commodore]], and [[Opel Senator|Senator]] being rebadged as Opels.
