Interior

The Rendezvous seats five occupants in standard form, but its reconfigurable interior may be equipped with third-row seats that hold two additional people. The second row can have a three-place split bench seat or two captain’s chairs. The second-row seats flip and fold to give access to the optional third-row seats. Cargo volume totals 108.9 cubic feet when the seats are folded, and a 4-by-8-foot panel can be loaded through the back door. Low doorsills ease entry and exit.

An optional Ultrasonic Rear Park Assist system warns the driver of obstacles to the rear. GM’s OnStar communication system is optional. Two entertainment units may be installed: an XM Satellite Radio or a DVD entertainment system.
