Buick's first SUV, the Buick Rendezvous offered all the versatility associated with a utility truck combined with the Buick elegance and comfort long associated with its sedans. The 2007 Buick Rendezvous comes only in base CX and luxury CXL trims, losing the CX Plus and CXL Plus, along with the all-wheel drive option. The 242-hp V6 option is also history, leaving only the 3.5-liter, 196-hp V6 under the Rendezvous' hood. A 4-speed automatic is the only transmission.
Additions to the Rendezvous include standard ABS and Turn-by-Turn navigation on the already standard OnStar.
The 2007 Rendezvous seats five, but you can add in an optional third row bench seat. The second row conveniently slides forward and back and folds over, extending the cargo space to 108.9 cubic inches. ABS, traction control, and a rear parking assist are all standard, and the more luxurious CXL adds leather seats which are power-adjustable. A popular heads-up display, navigation system, and DVD player are only available on the CXL. Owners of the 2007 Buick Rendezvous seem to love their SUV, praising its roominess, comfortable cabin, and precise handling. The ride is quiet and the low step-in height makes it easy to enter and exit. Drivers say it's confident in the snow, and large mirrors eliminate blind spots. The loss of all-wheel drive is a downside, and legroom in the rear seats is minimal.
