Interior

In standard form, the Rendezvous seats five occupants, but its reconfigurable interior can be equipped with third-row seats that hold two additional people. The second row can have either a three-place split bench seat or two captain's chairs. The second-row seats flip and fold for access to the rear. 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, XM Satellite Radio and DVD entertainment are optional.
