About the Rendezvous 3.5 198

The 2002 Buick Rendezvous 3.5 198 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,930 kg with 196 bhp, which works out at 101 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 3.22 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 10,787th quickest to 60 mph, and the 19th quickest of the 21 Buicks here. Its 79.8 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Buick Rendezvous 3.5 198 0-60 time?

The Buick Rendezvous 3.5 198 reaches 60 mph in 10.40 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,787th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Buick Rendezvous 3.5 198 quarter mile time?

18.17 s at 79.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.98 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.22 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Buick Rendezvous 3.5 198 have?

196 bhp and 1,930 kg, which is 101 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 172 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Buick Rendezvous 3.5 198?

Closest here on pace: Oldsmobile Silhouette 3.4 V6 185 (10.46 s), DR Motor dr5 2.0 139 (10.56 s), Kia Sportage 2.0 16V 141 (2004) (10.32 s). Each one can be raced against the Buick Rendezvous 3.5 198 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

Are these real measured times?

No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Buick Rendezvous 3.5 198 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
