Buick Rainier
The Buick Rainier is a mid-size luxury SUV that was manufactured by General Motors and marketed by Buick for the 2004 to 2007 model years. It was named after Mount Rainier, and with the Saab 9-7X served as the replacement for the Oldsmobile Bravada.
Built on the GMT360 platform, the Rainier was introduced on July 28, 2003, for the 2004 model year, in a 5-door, 5-passenger configuration, and was the first short-wheelbase GMT360 to offer a V8. Both rear and all-wheel drive models were offered. It was built in the Moraine Assembly plant in Moraine, Ohio along with other GMT3600 vehicles.
Buick also debuted the QuietTuning sound insulation on the Rainier, where a vehicle's sound dampening featured triple door seals, side acoustic laminate glass (the first vehicle to do so), and thicker sound-absorbing pads on the hood and firewall.
The Rainier was discontinued after the 2007 model year and was replaced by the Buick Enclave in 2008. GM ended production of the related Chevrolet TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy, and Saab 9-7X after the 2009 model year.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gave the 2004 Rainier an overall Marginal score for front impacts while the 2005 and newer models are given an Acceptable score. In side impacts the Rainier was given an overall Marginal score with side airbags present.
The Rainier debuted in July 2003 as a 2004 model year vehicle. The body of the Rainier/9-7X is largely carried over from the Bravada, only the front sheetmetal and taillights differ from the Bravada.The Rainier, along with the Bravada and 9-7X, did not receive a GMT370 extended wheelbase version, and was therefore only available as a 5-passenger configuration for its entirety.
The Rainier's interior and options list was directly carried over from the Bravada, with only a silver faced gauge cluster with ice blue needles (and a cluster font similar to the Rendezvous CUV,) along with a Buick Tri-Shield emblem adorning the steering wheel. Seat-mounted side impact airbags are optional.
Trim levels for 2004 included the CXL and CXL Plus. A touchscreen DVD-based navigation system was also available with the CXL Plus package. The 5.3 V8 was also available with the "V8 Power Play" package, which added a "V8" designation to the "RAINIER" script on the left side tailgate.
