Cadillac has a new convertible concept EV that’s longer than some SUVs, has giant pillar-to-pillar infotainment screens, and can keep you cool for the summer with a refrigerator in the back seat. It’s called the Sollei, and it’s a new electric vehicle concept that looks like a convertible version...

When it was revealed in the fall of 2022, the dramatically styled Cadillac Celestiq all-electric four-seater clearly indicated the General Motors luxury brand was ready to reclaim its space among premium, bespoke marques. This week, Cadillac unveils a convertible concept that carries forward the Celestiq underpinnings and states emphatically that...

Decades ago, before General Motors was anything like the homogenized company it is today, brands under its wide-reaching corporate umbrella operated mostly independently of one another. Competition between the marques was commonplace and, in some cases, even encouraged by GM senior management. That meant each brand, for the most part, came up with their own engine designs. That all changed in the mid-1970s when GM shifted its outlook to be more streamlined and, unfortunately, cheaper.

Only a couple of years ago, it seemed like global heavyweights Ford and Mercedes-Benz would end up tight with California-based EV startup Rivian. The maker of the all-electric R1T pickup and R1S SUV was just getting started, but many assumed it would've had at least two platform-sharing projects with those two old-school titans.

GM’s Orion Assembly Plant won’t build electric trucks until mid-2026. The Cruise self-driving robotaxi will no longer use the Origin purpose-built vehicle.

Car enthusiasts online have been treated to a recent influx of renderings envisioning the return of classic American luxury sedans. Among these digital creations is a design for a potential 2026 Lincoln Continental, created by artist vburlapp. It’s crucial to remember, however, that this design remains firmly of speculation, and doesn’t represent any official confirmation from Lincoln itself.

In recent years, very few cars have made as much of an impact on their respective segment as the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing. The mid-size sports sedan is seen as the spiritual replacement for the CTS-V, debuting for the first time in 2021 for the 2022 model year. Setting the standard across the board for performance, the Cadillac has had everyone chasing its taillights ever since.

Full-size luxury convertibles are scarce in today's automotive landscape, but Cadillac may be reviving the segment with the gorgeous Sollei, an all-electric concept that celebrates the automaker's legacy of high-end convertibles. Cadillac says the design pushes the envelope of "future bespoke commissions," which suggests the Sollei may make it to production - perhaps as a bespoke Spectre rival built in limited numbers. Sollei is a portmanteau of sun (Sol) and leisure (Lei), which is what this vehicle is all about.

Cadillac Sollei Is America's Answer To The Rolls-Royce Droptail

The Cadillac Sollei is an all-electric, 2+2 convertible that’s a “design exercise”, at least for now. This is far from the first time Cadillac has introduced a larger-than-life convertible concept. A little over a decade ago, the automaker introduced the hybrid-electric Ciel concept, and now they’re back with this: the Sollei.

With the “all-electric ultra-luxury” Celestiq sedan—the most expensive Caddy ever—currently in production, the General Motors-owned automaker has turned its attention to the future of two-seated luxury. The Sollei’s name may be a portmanteau of the Spanish word for sun and a shortening of the word “leisure”—Cadillac calls it “an optimistic inspiration for open-air, leisurely lifestyle.” Its figure may be reminiscent of the Bentley Continental GT Azure’s, perhaps intentionally so.
