The Cadillac Sollei is a battery electric concept car previewed by the Cadillac division of General Motors. The Sollei concept car is Cadillac's flagship convertible, showcasing design, proportions and style of the upcoming luxury convertible.[3][4] It is the convertible version of the Cadillac Celestiq.[5][6]

The Cadillac Sollei was created as an exercise for future bespoke commissions, tailored to reflect the interests of their clientele.

The Cadillac Sollei name is a combination of "sol" (Latin for sun) and "leisure". It's intended to evoke a sense of open-air, leisurely travel and relaxation.

SOLLEI represents Cadillac’s first concept vehicle to feature an innovative bio-based material created in partnership with MycoWorks. This sustainable material, known as Fine Mycelium™, is integrated into the vehicle’s charging mats and door map pockets. Derived from mycelium—the renewable root structure of mushrooms—Fine Mycelium™ marks a significant step forward in the use of environmentally responsible materials in automotive design. Its inclusion aligns with Cadillac’s ongoing commitment to advancing renewable and sustainable resources in the luxury automotive space.

Exterior

[edit]

The SOLLEI’s exterior design communicates a powerful emotional presence, staying true to Cadillac's signature bold proportions. Its low, elongated silhouette is highlighted by a wide stance and an extended coupe door, which enhances accessibility to the spacious rear cabin. Smooth, uninterrupted surfaces and a pronounced A-line accentuate the vehicle’s overall length, while a sleek, low tail imparts a sense of refined dynamism. A mid-body line runs seamlessly from the headlamps to the taillights, reinforcing the car’s cohesive and elegant design. Traditional door handles have been replaced with discrete buttons, preserving the vehicle’s clean and modern profile. In a nod to Cadillac’s legacy of bold color choices, the exterior is finished in "Manila Cream"—a distinctive hue originally offered in 1957 and 1958. This heritage color has been thoughtfully revived and hand-painted by Cadillac artisans, showcasing the brand’s dedication to craftsmanship and historical reverence.
