Buick Enclave: Exterior
Described by Buick as having a “refined ruggedness,” the Rendezvous has an
overall shape like that of an SUV and is augmented by details that promote a
youthful image. Sharp lines take precedence over curves, and Buick says the
fastback rear slope is less boxy than a typical SUV’s back end.
Styling elements that are common on other Buicks, such as an oval-shaped
grille that is painted rather than chrome trimmed, are evident on the
Rendezvous. Chrome is used sparingly.
Eight-spoke 16-inch wheels are standard, and the new Ultra gets 10-spoke
17-inch wheels. Each Rendezvous rides a 112.2-inch wheelbase, measures 186.5
inches long overall and stands 68.9 inches tall.
