Buick broadens the model choice of its versatile Rendezvous crossover vehicle, which successfully blends the best attributes of a luxury sedan, SUV and minivan into one stylish, innovative package.

Following the successful introduction of the top-line, all-wheel-drive Rendezvous Ultra for 2004, Buick is further expanding the range for 2005 with a front-drive version of Ultra for customers in regions where AWD may be less of a necessity.

Also new for 2005 is the added availability of GM's 3.6L V-6 VVT (variable valve timing) engine in the front-drive Rendezvous CXL. This all-aluminum engine generates 242 horsepower (181 kw) while delivering 90 percent of its peak torque where it is most useful, between 1500 and 6000 rpm.

Rendezvous CX and CXL models have as standard a 3400 3.4L V-6 engine that produces 185 horsepower (138 kw). Fuel economy estimates are 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway for the front-wheel-drive version, and 18/24 for the all-wheel-drive version.

Additional changes for 2005 include the availability of three new 17-inch wheel designs, and a touch-screen navigation function integrated into the available multimedia sound system. Three new color combinations are offered on CX and CXL, the primary colors being Cashmere Metallic, Cardinal Red Metallic and Platinum Metallic. Cappuccino Frost Metallic is offered as a new monotone color on Rendezvous Ultra.
