2007 Buick Rendezvous Overview

By Cars.com Editors
Vehicle Overview
Buick introduced the Rendezvous crossover vehicle — which blends sedan, sport utility vehicle and minivan characteristics — for 2002. For 2007, Buick eliminated the CX Plus and CXL Plus models, along with the all-wheel-drive option and 3.6-liter V-6 engine.

A one-year subscription to General Motors' OnStar Turn-by-Turn navigation system and all-disc antilock brakes are newly standard, and rear audio system controls are available.

When properly equipped, the Rendezvous can tow a 3,500-pound trailer.

Exterior
Described by Buick as having a "refined ruggedness," the Rendezvous has an overall shape like that of an SUV and shares styling elements with other Buicks. Sharp lines take precedence over curves, and Buick gave it a rear slope in contrast to the typically boxy SUV shape.

Each Rendezvous rides a 112.2-inch wheelbase, measures 186.5 inches long overall and stands 68.9 inches tall. A fully independent suspension is installed, and 17-inch steel wheels are standard. It features acoustical laminate on the windshield and front side glass and "Quiet Steel" in front of the dash to cut down on cabin noise.

Interior
In standard form, the Rendezvous seats five occupants, but its reconfigurable interior can be equipped with third-row seats that hold two additional people. The second row can have either a three-place split bench seat or two captain's chairs. The second-row seats flip and fold for access to the rear. Cargo volume totals 108.9 cubic fee...

Interior
In standard form, the Rendezvous seats five occupants, but its reconfigurable interior can be equipped with third-row seats that hold two additional people. The second row can have either a three-place split bench seat or two captain's chairs. The second-row seats flip and fold for access to the rear. Cargo volume totals 108.9 cubic feet when the seats are folded, and a 4-by-8-foot panel can be loaded through the back door. Low doorsills ease entry and exit.

CX models with the optional traction control system are also equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system and driver information center. The standard Ultrasonic Rear Park Assist system can warn the driver of obstacles to the rear. XM Satellite Radio, a touch-screen navigation system, a six-disc CD changer and DVD entertainment system are optional.

Under the Hood
The 3.5-liter V-6 develops 196 horsepower and employs a four-speed automatic transmission.

Safety
All-disc antilock brakes now come standard, and side-impact airbags are available.

Driving Impressions
Automatic-transmission responses are quick and easy in the Rendezvous. Acceleration is good, if not exactly inspiring. The Rendezvous runs very quietly and offers plenty of versatile space. The gauges are notable in appearance, but they're not the easiest to read at a glance.

The Rendezvous delivers a generally soft ride, but its suspension hits some bumps rather hard. Handling is reasonably precise with good steering feel and feedback, very much like what drivers might expect from a minivan.

Warranty FAQs

What is a Bumper-to-Bumper warranty?

Often called a basic warranty or new-vehicle warranty, a bumper-to-bumper policy covers components like air conditioning, audio systems, vehicle sensors, fuel systems and major electrical components. Most policies exclude regular maintenance like fluid top offs and oil changes, but a few brands have separate free-maintenance provisions, and those that do offer them is slowly rising. Bumper-to-bumper warranties typically expire faster than powertrain warranties.

What is a Powertrain warranty?

Don't be misled a 10-year or 100,000-mile powertrain warranty doesn't promise a decade of free repairs for your car. It typically covers just the engine and transmission, along with any other moving parts that lead to the wheels, like the driveshaft and constant velocity joints. Some automakers also bundle seat belts and airbags into their powertrain warranties. With a few exceptions, powertrain warranties don't cover regular maintenance like engine tuneups and tire rotations.

What is included in Roadside Assistance?

Some automakers include roadside assistance with their bumper-to-bumper or powertrain warranties, while others have separate policies. These programs cover anything from flat-tire changes and locksmith services to jump-starts and towing. Few reimburse incidental costs like motel rooms (if you have to wait for repairs).

What other services could be included in a warranty?

Some automakers include free scheduled maintenance for items such as oil changes, air filters and tire rotations. Some include consumables including brake pads and windshield wipers; others do not. They are typically for the first couple of years of ownership of a new car.

What does CPO mean?

A certified pre-owned or CPO car has been inspected to meet minimum quality standards and typically includes some type of warranty. While dealers and third parties certify cars, the gold standard is an automaker-certified vehicle that provides a factory-backed warranty, often extending the original coverage. Vehicles must be in excellent condition and have low miles and wear to be certified, which is why off-lease vehicles feed many CPO programs.
