Rendezvous loses its optional V6 engine and available all-wheel drive for 2007, which Buick says is this vehicle's final model year. This SUV shares a basic platform with Buick's Terraza minivan. Rendezvous seats five with a standard three-place 2nd-row split bench seat that slides fore and aft. A two-passenger 3rd-row seat is optional, as are twin bucket seats to replace the 2nd-row bench. Rendezvous has front-wheel drive with available traction control. A 195-hp 3.5-liter V6 and 4-speed automatic transmission comprise the sole drivetrain; an optional 242-hp 3.6 V6 has been dropped. ABS, rear obstacle detection, and OnStar assistance are standard. Front side airbags are available. No curtain side airbags are offered.
