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.

  Excellent Value, great performance - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By Catherine - December 21 - 4:50 am

  We live in Germany and regularly drive on the Autobahns in the XC70. Weve even had it up to 122 MPH while late for a flight and it is rock solid. Vehicle noise is pretty low compared to our old Tahoe and Jeep Grand Cherokee. Been skiing in the Alps and had no trouble manuevering in snow, the Winter feature works great. Pirelli Scorpion STR tires are worth the money. The only thing I really dont like after all is the rain sensing intermittent wipers-- it never seems to be the right amount of wiping for lower speeds and light drizzle. Ive been hit by a motorcycle and Ive backed into a post and the repairs were expensive, but car was not totaled, unlike my friends cars.

  Its a wagon... WOW - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By JAF IV - October 18 - 2:00 am

  It is the best cross over car/suv I have ever driven. I love the AWD and the handling is fantastic. The fact that it is a wagon is forgotten once you are behind the wheel.

  Fantastic Car - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By Jordan - September 4 - 6:33 am

  This is the best all-purpose vehicle you can find. It does everything, its fun to drive, its safe enough for babies and fast enough for dads. All-wheel drive is the best for all weather conditions Ive driven this car through storms, rain, snowstorms, cross country, etc. and never once felt out of control. The turbocharged engine gives a kick when you need it. It has nice clearance for hopping curbs or going offroad. The only semblance of a complaint is that the gas mileage is on the low side, we average 20 mpg in mixed use driving. But it still beats an SUV in that category. If you need an all-purpose vehicle, but want better reliability than an SUV, this is it.

  4th Volvo-Favorite By Far - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By Fred and Linda - July 30 - 10:00 am

  We love this car. Bought it to replace 1994 Volvo 850 wagon. Very quite, looks great (ruby red) and fun to drive. We have owned Volvos for 20 some years and they just keep getting better. If you are in the Seattle area, dont be afraid to check out Topping Volvo in Olympia. We paid thousands less than Seattle area Dealers wanted.

  Volvo XC70 - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By DMR - July 18 - 2:00 am

  This is hands down the best vehicle I have ever owned. We chose Volvo because of their reputation for being so safe. I especially love the XC70 because I am only 52" and most SUVs are too big for me to handle. This car is the perfect match for me. I sit up higher than I do in a regular car, I have the back room of an SUV, and I dont have to worry about rollover issues. Plus the AWD is great!

  Soccer mom car does me proud - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By tenmiler - June 12 - 8:40 pm

  Im sorry to be leaving the lease on this car. Its been fantastic, with nothing going wrong other than a turbo boost that was fixed under warranty, and I had never noticed it. This car is GREAT in the mountains, with the turbo at high altitude being a gem. The AWD could use the stability control, but I felt safe in this car. Its no sports car, but its comfortable, quiet, and reliable. And Im not a soccer mom!

  Well done Volvo. Im very satisfied, its fun to own this car. BSR PPC Tuning is the best choice.

  Great Car - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By papatony - February 17 - 6:16 am

  Bought it used with 92kmiles. This car is probably the best I have owned (VW, BMW, Toyota, Honda and Infiniti). The key is that it is a car that can be everything (sports car, station wagon, SUV, etc.). It drive fantastic and gives you a great sense of comfort and safety. It grips the road and goes. In the big snowstorm we just had, it sped forward regardless of the amount of snow on the road.

  2004 Volvo XC70 review - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By jplym49 - November 30 - 10:00 am

  Ive had my XC70 2 months, & the more I drive it, the more I enjoy it. Excellent fit and finish. Great visibility, and very comfortable seating. I am surprised that there are not more of these on the road. This car is a keeper!

  First time Volvo Owner - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By WOE - October 29 - 2:00 am

  We traded in our BMW 528I with 127,000 miles on it. Our criteria was we wanted a vehicle to tow a trailer, and not be an SUV. We feel we found it with the XC70. It is rated to tow up to 3500 lbs, which is more than we ever will. We have only had it a couple of days, and it took a lot to get us from BMW, we hope this is the right choice.
