Overview & Reviews

The XC70 remains unchanged except for the addition of bi-xenon headlights to the options list and a revised steering system.

• Versatile all-wheel drive, superb comfort, extensive array of safety equipment, solid construction, excellent brakes.

• High price, lacks the true off-road capability of an SUV, odd control placement.

  an ok car - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By progger7 - December 18 - 10:00 am

  This is a truly great vehicle for my needs. I bought the car mostly for safety as we just started a family. But I also prefer the wagon to an SUV.This is a truly great vehicle for my needs.

  Stellar - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By Sussexgal - November 22 - 2:00 am

  My 2004 replaces a 203 that was totaled in an accident...the car was broadsided on the drivers side by a truck. The car SAVED my life. The safety features in this Volvo cannot be topped. Had I been driving a smaller, lighter weight car without side impact airbags I would not be here writing this to you today.

  Lake Tahoe Loves the Cross Country - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By Mama Bear - October 16 - 10:00 am

  Our Cross Country has been a true joy. There hasnt been one thing thats gone wrong or thats needed fixing. Our kids love the 3rd row seating and I love to drive! I had to drive 60 miles in 12 inch deep snow and it handled it with ease! My daughter slept through it all. Well done!

  2/3 the way through my Volvo lease - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By d. from denver - September 4 - 7:00 pm

  This car is very stealth; it performs way better than the image it projects. If you get into the turbo, it will leave most everyone else sitting at the stoplight. Very solid build quality so far (at 30k miles). Maintenance not too bad because the major ones covered under warranty, which they no longer do (cheaped out). Run synthetic oil most the time in it.

  Best car I have ever owned! - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By shiner42 - July 12 - 1:05 am

  I have always loved the way the XC70 has looked. Even now that I have owned it for about 10 years it still looks new. Yes I have taken care of the paint and plastic on the exterior. Yes I have tried to take care of the inside to. Yet I lived for three years where it got to 40 degrees below zero. The paint... Looks like new. Other than a few dings and scratches it looks great. The interior looks great except for the driver seat. I tried to take care of it with regular cleaning and conditioning but the leather cracked and now has holes in it. But other than that it survived the brutile winters. The all wheel drive is second to none. Made it to placeses even jeeps could not go. Great vehicle.

  04 XC70 - OK so far - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By mpurc - February 2 - 10:00 am

  Traded in Pathfinder for more quiet and something easier to get in and out of. Surprised to find XC wider and longer than PF when going into garage for the first time. Steering takes getting used to. Tranny rough at slow speeds in neighborhood (auto and manual). Excellent hiway car. Adequate power. Still playing with driving position - comfortable/heated seats a boon to a bad back. Getting 21 to 23 mpg.

  All in the family - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By Jai25 - December 9 - 2:00 am

  This is our first Volvo although other family members have over 100,000 miles on their Volvos. Weve had the car for almost one month and so far so good. I have a long commute everyday and I like getting into this car and crusing home after 12 hours on campus. Theres a nice safe secure feeling when youre inside the car. Its also one of the most recognizable cars on the road.

  XC70 Fun to Drive - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By ErinMick11 - September 15 - 2:00 am

  I recently gave in and bought the car that I have always admired from afar....the Volvo XC 70. I can say without a doubt buying this car was the best car-buying decision I have ever made, I could not possibly be any more happier. Volvo thought of everything when they designed this vehicle from safety, comfort, and pure driving pleasure! I will definitely be a Volvo driver for life....

  Needs some work - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By walterq - August 23 - 9:46 pm

  A lot of road noise, window seals had to be replaced 2xs, still inadequate. When they replaced window seals, primer damaged paint. Radio and interior music enjoyment is terrible. Bearings (3) went at 51,000 miles, 1000 miles over warranty.

  OSD and a great car - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By XCRubyGal - July 28 - 2:00 am

  First: be sure and buy your Volvo through their Over Seas Delivery program, you save $, they treat you like royality and you end up with a FANTASTIC car ! I love my XC, summer was great, now in the snow the AWD is wonderful, I feel so safe ! The seats are the most comfortable in the world. To me this car is a luxary car in the front and a very practical wagon in the back. The fit, finish, design, quality are all first rate. The only minor negatives I have so far are the Xenon lights (too dim) and the lack of USA 7 pin wiring for your trailer towing. Mileage could be better.
