Product Overview
Rolls-Royce Dawn is a full-size luxury convertible in production from 2015 to 2022. It was available with a two tunes of the BMW N74 bi-turbo V12 engine that displaced 6.6 liters.
The most elegant convertible on sale during its production run, the Dawn boasts a level of luxury and refinement with no equal. RR also ensured that the vehicle remained RWD. It is also slightly smaller than most other RR models, making it more suitable for owners who drive themselves.
With a 14.4L/100km (16.3mpg) fuel "dis-economy", owners have to be prepared to pay for their "smiles-per-mile". Utility-minded owners will have to keep in mind that the 321L (11cu-ft) cargo space may not be sufficient.

Reviewer score 87%Goodwood has gifted the Dawn with a host of bespoke engineering and an uncommonly elegant wardrobe. The interior has a clear focus on pampering: the seats are huge and plump and upholstered in the finest leather front and rear. The car's extravagant dimensions, wallowy-soft ride and Eleanor on the bonnet mean that you shouldn't – and likely won't – fling the Dawn around.
