The sport-utility wagon from Buick in 2003 shows more versatility due to available AWD traction, plus third-row seating and captain's chairs. Features for convenience and security include a head-up display of vehicle speed projected on the windshield and a Rear Park Assist (RPA) guidance system, optional OnStar telecommunications and a DVD-based video entertainment system as well as XM satellite radio service. Rendezvous CX operates constantly in front-wheel-drive (FWD), but the CXL carries an on-demand AWD system called Versatrak. Both traction editions pull power from the same engine, a 3.4-liter V6 from GM that produces 185 hp.
