2004 Buick Rendezvous Review:

The Buick Rendezvous is a sports touring vehicle, meaning it is not quite an SUV and not quite a wagon. It lies somewhere in the middle, offering the ruggedness and safety of a larger SUV as well as the precise handling and car-like feel of a smaller car. Available all-wheel drive and a short-and-long-arm suspension are just two of the features that emphasize the Rendezvous’ commitment to performance.

The big news for 2004 is the introduction of an all-new Rendezvous Ultra model (covered in a separate review). It joins the CX and CXL trims to fill the lineup out to three models. In other news, the 2004 Rendezvous has new exterior colors, plus new interior colors and features.

Under the Hood

A 3.4-liter V6 engine is responsible for powering the 2004 Buick Rendezvous. It can generate up to 185 horsepower at 5200 rpm and 210 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm. To this engine is mated a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive and torque converter clutch.

Customers can opt for either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive with the Rendezvous. For 2004, the innovative rear suspension system lets the Rendezvous handle even more like a sedan than before. The rear suspension utilizes cast aluminum knuckle assemblies, cross members and upper and lower control arms for minimal unsprung weight. In between each lower control arm and the rear-suspension cross member are curved coil springs that absorb force without rattling the entire vehicle.

Standard Features, Options Packages and Style

The 2004 Buick Rendezvous displays its versatility with a moveable seating setup. Second-row seating choices are either a three-person split bench (for seven-passenger seating) or optional twin bucket seats. Both types have reclining backrests and move forward and backward. The optional third-row seat also folds flush with the floor to provide ample cargo room.

Dark Steel Blue Metallic is the new exterior color and Light Neutral replaces oak on the inside. Chrome trim accents, color-keyed door switches and leather seats in new monotone finish are other upgrades from last year.

A GPS navigation radio is also available for the first time in 2004. Coupled with the standard OnStar system (CXL model), it keeps drivers abreast of their position no matter what corner of the earth they’re on.
