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.

  Edmunds too tough, I like it! - 2004 Isuzu Axiom
  By jeff - March 9 - 12:23 am

  Bought this 04 Axiom used with 48,000 miles. The seats are low compared to a Suzuki Grand Vitara it replaced but I got used to it. This vehicle flies! Power is fantastic, gas mileage is 13 mpg. Looks alone are a home run. I personally like the dash but does have a lot to it. You just have to get used to it. My only complaint would be the rubber stripping around the doors it seems to move or come out of its fasteners and not fit as well as Im sure as when it was new. I have had it 4 months or so and really like it.

  Best vehicle I have ever owned - 2004 Isuzu Axiom
  By Lee Centner - November 18 - 10:00 am

  This vehicle has great performance without sacrificing fuel mileage. I regularly get 24-25 mpg on the highway and 17-20 mpg in town. It is very comfortable and fun to drive and I have yet had any maintenance problems. This with the great looks make it the best vehicle I have ever owned.

  engine misfires - 2004 Isuzu Axiom
  By betrayed - March 18 - 10:00 am

  the direct inject engine stated to misfire at 3500 miles. after 8 trips to the dealer, the repair person says " this engine was designed to misfire". nearly had a couple of accidents when entering traffic and the engine misfires. now have a data recorder because they are not able to duplicate the problem even though the codes show engine misfire. i expected more.
