Cadillac Sollei Concept: Live Photos

Unveiled this summer, the Cadillac Sollei is an all-electric ultra-luxury concept convertible, with a gorgeous design based on the Celestiq and a color scheme that pays homage to the Sun. Cadillac Society had the opportunity to see the Sollei in person, and today, we’re offering another look at the tech-forward cabriolet in the following Live Photo Gallery.

The Cadillac Sollei was on display at the Cadillac House at Vanderbilt in Warren, Michigan, where Cadillac Celestiq customers arrive to select options for the ultra-luxury sedan. It’s easy to see the Celestiq’s bloodline in the Sollei, which makes sense given that the former served as the donor car for the latter.

As a result, the Sollei features the same front fascia as the Celestiq, right down to the striking five-point “grille” featuring a bold LED pattern framing the monochrome Caddy crest itself. Vertical headlight clusters light the way, while thin horizontal lighting elements trace the seam of the hood, acting as turn signal and emergency flashers. The black and chrome trim elements are emphasized by the concept’s pastel yellow paint, which is a 1950s heritage color called Manila Cream. The primary metal finishes, like the windshield surround, are finished in tint called Aurora.

At its core, the Cadillac Sollei is two-door convertible version of the Celestiq. In fact, it wasn’t shortened at all compared to the large sedan, giving it a long, low-slung profile reminiscent of the abundantly-sized midcentury Caddy convertibles. Its stretched A-line accentuates this length, while a mid-body styling line connects the taillights to the headlights. Bright chrome multi-spoke wheels are found in all four corners, while black trim emphasizes the low ride height and sweeping bodylines. 

Out back, the Sollei features boomerang-shaped taillights in each corner of the rear fascia, drawing the eye toward the center of the trunk, which is topped with a long horizontal running light, a significant departure from the Celestiq.

Inside, the Sollei boasts a 2+2 seating arrangement. Infotainment duties are handled by a 55-inch coast-to-coast display screen, lifted straight from the Celestiq, as is the Front Command Center screen below it. Other features include charging mats mounted on the console, door map pockets, and custom accessories are composed of a bio-based material from MycoWorks called Fine Mycelium, which – as its name implies – is grown from mycelium, the renewable root structure of mushrooms.

While not visible in full, the soft-top convertible is finished in a hue called Daybreak, while the seatbacks are inlaid with a sunburst-inspired motif made of artfully placed wood. Other standout features include a built-in beverage chiller in the second row complete with custom crystal glasses and a full set of 3D-printed birdcalls.

Of course, Cadillac is calling this vehicle a concept and has not (yet?) announced plans to put the Cadillac Sollei convertible into production, but never say never.
