2007 Buick Rainier Trims and Specs

The truck-based 2007 Buick Rainier CXL is a 4-door SUV with two rows of seating, ensuring plenty of legroom for both front and rear passengers. The base CXL comes in rear-wheel drive with a 4.2-liter, 6-cylinder, 291-hp engine and Buick's standard 4-speed automatic. There is no manual option. For more towing power, there is an optional 5.3-liter, 302-hp V8. The 2007 Rainier CXL comes well equipped, with power features, 8-way power front seats with memory settings, leather upholstery, dual-zone climate control, heated mirrors, a universal remote, cruise control, audio controls on the steering wheel and OnStar Turn-by Turn navigation.

It features plenty of front and rear cupholders, front and overhead consoles, and leather and wood trim. ABS, stability control, dual front and side airbags, daytime running and fog lights, turn signals in the mirrors, and dusk-sensing headlights are some of the safety features. For storage, it comes with a roof rack, and the rear seat split-folds to expand the cargo area to a spacious 80 cubic feet. The rear liftgate and window open independently of each other. Popular options are a DVD player, sunroof, and satellite radio.

The all-wheel drive version of the 2007 Buick Rainier SUV has all the same features and powertrain as the rear-wheel drive version, but offers more versatility when facing variable road and weather conditions. Though heavier and more expensive, the 2007 Rainier CXL AWD is more popular for this reason. Like the base model, it features a 4.2-liter, 6-cylinder, 291-hp engine and 4-speed automatic. A unique offering is the optional 5.3-liter, 302-hp V8. It sits on 17-inch tires, has two rows of seating for five (an option removes the second row for more space), and a cargo area that has a window and liftgate that open separately. ABS brakes, dual front and side airbags, a new tire pressure monitor, fog lights, daytime running lights, a security system, and stability control are all standard.

It has all the same features as the two-wheel drive CXL, including a self-leveling suspension and limited slip differential. A full array of power features, including seats, leather upholstery, a trip computer, compass, front and rear wipers, OnStar with navigation, memory settings, dual-zone climate control, and cruise control are only a few of the standard features on the 2007 Rainier CXL AWD. The cargo area features tie-downs and a trailer hitch. There is also a roof rack for more storage. The AWD is a big hit with owners, as is the abundant standard equipment. Some drivers report a noisy ride, and no one likes the 16/22 fuel economy.
