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.

  Mikes baby - 2004 Isuzu Axiom
  By Mrivardns - May 21 - 10:00 am

  I rate this vehicle below average in terms of Japanese quality vehicles. The paint finish is inferior and my drivers side door does not line up flush to the body of the vehicle. My vehicle is a 2002 first year intro. The side door faux finish chrome bumper guards are deteriorating and the clear plastic covering on them is coming off. Sloppy handling and very numb and sluggish stearing.

  Its better than the Editors think - 2004 Isuzu Axiom
  By Richard Hall - September 6 - 2:00 am

  I am 53, a car enthusiast and race. Owned Jeeps for years and go off road. The editors rating seems inconsisent. We paid $22000 for a new 2003 with 2004s at $24500. A Kia Sorento came close but Jeeps etc very over priced in comparison Keep the tires at 26 lb and ride is fine. No p[roblems with steering and room for 6fter. Controls are intuitive and simple to use. Our latest easy higway run at 70 mph resulted in 23 mpg I expect overall use to be 20 mpg or 4 pm better than our Jeep. I am a Certified Financial Planner professional and believe long term costs willb e lower than buying a 2 or 3 year old Jeep. I think the Axiom is a great value.

  Smooth riding SUV - 2004 Isuzu Axiom
  By SCTribeFan - July 26 - 2:00 am

  Looked for over a year for the right midsize SUV. The research from consumer magazines stated this vehicle was designed to compete with the Toyota Highlander, but be more reasonably priced. The price was great, and the ride compares to a Toyota Camry which I owned for years prior to purchasing the Axiom. Would absolutely buy another.

  Best Looking SUV - 2004 Isuzu Axiom
  By Marcellus - April 20 - 10:00 am

  I love my Axiom. I love the uniqueness of the car, its not too big over the top look, its out of the box design thats not just a aquare or retangle box on wheels and its bold in your face,very different front fascia. Its a minivan for people who dont want to be seen in a minivan but rather an SUV. Its just a "cute" vehicle thats different from the standard square boxes out there.

  By ricrado - August 3 - 3:20 am

  I am 56" and 167 lb for me this is the best car ever, the only thing I dont like too much is that jumps to much when go in to a bump or something like it. I make a trip of 210 miles and I only use 13 gallons of gas = 21 mpg hwy city 16

  My first SUV now I am in heaven - 2004 Isuzu Axiom
  By P Ray - May 2 - 10:00 am

  I thought SUVs were only for the rich. I just bought a Isuzu Axiom and I need a degree to learn all it does. It is classy, sporty and handles great. I used to have a Toyota Tacoma and the seats were important to me as if it isnt comfortable I am not going to want to stay in it for long and as most Southern California people know we do a lot of driving. It handles great, and I always know where I am going as it has the compus on the screen and temperture controlls. My sun glasses never get lost now because it is like a well orgainzed machine, with something for everone. Speaking for someone that gets hot flashes the tempurture controls are so great becau
