Buick Enclave: Vehicle Overview
Introduced for 2002, the Buick Rendezvous continues into 2005 in regular and
Ultra forms with front-wheel drive or Versatrak all-wheel drive. Ultra editions
feature a 245-horsepower, 3.6-liter V-6 with variable valve timing. Regular
models use a 185-hp, 3.4-liter V-6.
Buick's crossover blends characteristics of a sedan, sport utility vehicle
and minivan. In addition to Ultra versions, the Mexican-built Rendezvous comes
in CX and CXL trims.
A front-drive version of the Rendezvous Ultra is available for 2005; it
previously had been offered only with all-wheel drive. The 3.6-liter V-6 also
becomes available in CXL models. A touchscreen navigation system is newly
optional, and 17-inch wheel packages are offered.
Billed by the manufacturer as "unpretentious luxury," the Ultra competes
against the Lexus RX 330. Monochromatic exterior paint includes a body-colored
grille.
