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.

  Bought 2 will buy more - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By Volvo almost lost me - December 29 - 6:53 am

  I had to dump my 2000 XC because of continuing problems. I almost didnt buy another but my wife wanted to try a new model. I bought a 2004 with 18000 miles. I have to admit. huge change. Good engine power, seats, and lots of room. I have had zero problems with the 2004 and Volvo has kept me around for a few more years. Great in the snow and rain. I actually had to save a friend that got stuck in his Tahoe. Mine just rolled right thru 5 inches of snow, no problem. Hint: you need good tires. XC70 will eat tires if you dont rotate them every 5000 miles.

  Best of the Breed - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By J.R. - November 2 - 10:56 pm

  With the exeption of mediocre service from the dealer, this is an excellent car. Lots of Winter driving on back roads; good control; comfortable; more interior carrying space that all of the mid-sized SUVs weve driven; no comparison to the XC90 which is tinny and poorly assembled. Ive had Jeeps (dumped two before they had 30k), Subarus (not bad, but just not as good), Pathfinders (the 94 was the bes); Saabs (100 mph up the hill in my drive, standing still); Recommend this car.

  From Mercedes ML320 to Volvo XC - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By Scout7 - October 8 - 10:00 am

  Loved the comfort and ride of this car. Went from Mercedes ML320 to this. Improved gas mileage, comfort and relability. The car handles great and has great creature comforts. Went for safety and proven track record and longevity. I feel I will get it in this car.

  2004 XC 70 six -month review - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By Gregg Corey - September 13 - 1:20 am

  Went to Volvo in August 2004 after very unpleasant ownership regarding a Jeep Grand Cherokee LTD. The Volvo has good styling, interior appointments are good- exceptional (leather quality), with the seat comfort exceptional. Fair to good performance, with handling very good. There does appear to be certain "blind spots" when turning sharply or backing up. Interior noise levels are minimal.

  Best Car Ive driven - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By Herbal90 - March 23 - 8:43 pm

  Bought the car in Germany after direct comparisons to Mercedes and Audi wagons. Best car Ive ever driven and also best value for the features. Military pricing and home shipment was great! Smooth autobahn car, solid as a rock and quiet through 120 mph. Starts to float above 125 mph, but holds a straight line without drift. Very comfortable seats, huge interior space, great controls. Love the rain sensor, heated mirrors (needed both in Germany). My first Volvo and Im very pleased. My next car (10+ years from now) will also be a Volvo. Since the kids will be bigger, Ill be eyeing the S60R.

  I am in love with my car - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By tsumami - February 5 - 6:35 pm

  I recently was lucky enough to find a 2004 Volvo XC70 2.5T AWD with only 71K miles , fully loaded and in near mint condition. I have driven Volvos in the past and have wanted another one for years, the XC70 has been on my wish list since that model became available. I was truly amazed by the fact that it handles like a sports car but has the practicality of a station wagon. It handles like a dream on bad roads and gets amazing fuel mileage for this type of vehicle. I recently took it on a road trip and got 31 mpg with the a/c on and driving 75 mph. It is obvious that the former owner took very good care of the vehicle so I was very lucky to find it.

  Brillant Wagon - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By TM - June 8 - 6:13 am

  This is by far, the best car Ive ever owned. Great performance, great utilization for a family of four and great style. My family is big in water sports - surf, kayak, etc - the Volvo XC70 is PERFECT.

  Compromise - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By Whel - May 25 - 2:00 am

  After driving an SUV for five years I found this to be a great compromise. We still have the storage space & the allwheel drive ... but I now have an auto thats easier to park, smoother riding & much better looking.
