Overview & Reviews
More power is the word for 2004. The Axiom's 3.5-liter V6 engine features new gasoline "direct injection" technology to improve both horsepower and torque. Of a less exciting nature, the audio system doesn't include a tape player anymore and the speaker count drops by two for a total of six. Outside, there's a new chrome finish for the front grille and for the XS model's optional alloy wheels.
- Strong V6 engine, distinctive styling, slick four-wheel-drive system.
- Old tech underpinnings, cumbersome control layout, slow steering, tight legroom in front seat.

I love this AXIOM XS! - 2004 Isuzu Axiom
By LittleMissScubaLady - October 30 - 1:13 pmI just purchased my 2004 Isuzu Axiom XS and...I really...really LOVE this vehicle!!!! It is perfect for long trips... It does well on mountain roads...and it rides like a dream on the Florida Flatlands...LOL!!!! It is a sexy little ride for a 4X4! It handles well...and looks fabulous!!!!! I went from driving a sports car, to driving this cute little SUV...and I COMPLETELY LOVE IT!!!! The Axiom has a sports car appearance, yet works like a truck, and handles like the best of the more expensive SUVs! I am not sure why some wrote bad reviews for this SUV... in my opinion it is an absolutely awesome SUV!!!!! The MPG is running around 20 in town, and 22 on HWY. I am very, very happy with it!!!!!

Update on ole reliable - 2004 Isuzu Axiom
By Charbojr - September 29 - 9:56 amIts been over a year now with over 20K miles clocked and the Axe is holding up nice. We got new tires and that has made a tremendous difference in the handling of this vehicle (Bridgestone Dueler Alenza tires). No more tire squeal or front end plow in the rain and has smoothed out the ride a bit. However the fit and finish on this car is still unnerving. Our sunroof is shot and the door seams (stuffing) is pulling away from the doors. Not exactly the things you want happening to a $28K truck. Still the warranty has saved us and this SUV doesnt mind being abused. Thanks Isuzu.

1st Isuzu for me - 2004 Isuzu Axiom
By goodnu - June 20 - 2:00 amI liked the Isuzu appearance more than its bland competitors. The Axiom is a head-turner with many people asking about it. It is not the cookie-cutter SUV. It is worth the test drive.

Great SUV Option - 2004 Isuzu Axiom
By agrizzaffi - May 31 - 6:26 pmI really wish we hadnt traded in our Axiom. We purchased it used in 11/05 as a cash car to replace a beater that had just puttered out. Was very pleasantly surprised by the vehicle and quickly came to love it. Great mid-size design with quality interior layout and materials. It was gutsy in its acceleration and speed and was more than adequate towing (5000 lbs). Got very good gas mileage and was comfortable even on a 12 hour non-stop trip to Tennessee. I would definitely recommend as a starter car for a teenager, or a commuter car for anyone. Plenty of leg room in the back seat plus plenty of cargo space in the back.

By Bryan Wetzel - December 26 - 10:00 amI love the 2004 axiom, its a big difference from the 03 axiom. Theres no words to explain it, you have to test drive one yourself and youll know. My first car, my only car until my 7 year warranty runs out. Beat that

Fantastic - 2004 Isuzu Axiom
By StaceL - November 19 - 2:00 amI love my Axiom. I have made 4 trips from Florida to Texas and back with mine and it has been wonderful. It is so comfy and fun to drive, that the 16 hours fly by. I would recommend this car to young people that are not ready for the monster size SUV just yet.

one happy girl - 2004 Isuzu Axiom
By pickygirl - October 6 - 3:56 amI am about as picky a woman as they come and I love everything about my Axiom. The XS model offers just about every option you could think of and more. I love the way it drives and looks. I do not understand why they stopped making them. They look a lot like the BMW SUV...but a lot less in price. If you can find one for sale...buy it...you wont be sorry!

Great car for the price... - 2004 Isuzu Axiom
By WilmaSnickerbocker - September 20 - 10:00 amI love my Axiom. I looked at a lot of V4 and V6 SUVs and I got the most for my money with the Axiom. The dealer service has not been as good as when I owned an Infiniti. Dealer service could be improved. But, the car offers a lot of leg room and is overall very, very nice for the money. The cost was a lot less than the Toyota Highlander, but the interior is much roomier and nicer. And, it pulls 4500 lbs which is great if you tow trailers. Gas mileage averages at 15 MPG, which is worse that I expected. I get lots of complements on this car.

The highlight of my day! - 2004 Isuzu Axiom
By swymjym - August 19 - 2:00 amEverytime I step into my sporty Axiom I revel in its sheer magnificence. I am proud to be an owner of such a great vehicle. My friends all love the ride it delivers, and it does not fail to turn heads. I cannot understand why Edmunds bashes the Axiom.?.?. The car feels and looks like a luxury vehicle, but costs significantly less. Buy one if you have a chance!!!
