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.

  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.

  First and Last Volvo - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By New Birdman - October 6 - 10:00 am

  Purchased this XC70 at the beginning of the year and have had numerous drive train problems that require ordering parts and waiting. Cruise control went out on the way to have it serviced! Now the front passenger door wont open from the inside. Lots of road noise and clunking sounds. This car is not worth the money--cant wait to get rid of it.

  Electrical problems frequent - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By Rossthewrench - September 28 - 12:00 am

  We bought this wagon used, it was always serviced by Volvo, and highway driven by female doctor. The condition was showroom. One week after purchasing, the information centre packed it in. Dealer said it was out of warranty. Cost to replace roughly 1200. So we said to forget it. Next month the instrument panel shut down, no guages at all, no speedometer either. Had the local garage change battery. Was OK, now it is back again. Nothing on instrument panel again. Now we just guess how fast we are going, fill the gas tank often, and hope we are right. Oh, the airbag info light came on just after we got it, neighbour Volvo same problem No warranty. Mechanically is good car,electrics terrible.

  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.

  1st XC and 3rd Volvo - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By Chriss Stitches - April 18 - 10:00 am

  Bought the 2004 XC to replace my 1977 245 Volvo. Absolutely NO complaints about fit/ finish, engine power, transmission (Auto/ Gearttronic). It has the normal turbo lag from a start which makes it a little hard to get a really smooth start. The Automatic Climate Control is great! Power roof switch takes some getting use to. Folding down the rear seats is almost too easy. Got it for $2250 under invoice with excellent financing.

  GERMAN GONE SWEDE - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By NATURAL JOCK - March 21 - 10:00 am

  Weve been looking for a good-looking SUVs but without the unnecessary bulk of most major SUVs. We traded one of our cars (AUDI A4 Quattro) for this new XC70 Volvo. We also considered the Lexus R330 and Volvo XC90. We found these latter two SUVs to be too tall/high for our "rescued" South Russian Sheepdog to jump in and out of the vehicle. We chose the XC70 because he is able to recline comfortably while in the car. The XC70s safety features also made us choose it over the Lexus R330. We would have chosen the XC90 but besides the "height" situation, we also found it a little "too feminine" looking :) Although Ive seen quite a few women driving the XC70 here in the LA area.

  Great Cross Country - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By mary - February 22 - 2:30 pm

  Waited a very long time to buy a Volvo. Bought the CX in 2004 and wish I had bought one sooner.... really love the ride and the comfort! Just wish the windows were tinted a little darker or the sun visor was a little longer or had an extension like the Audi. Otherwise am very happy and plan on getting another, but now I know about the Sweden trip and will be flying to pick up the new one...

  lower front seats - 2004 Volvo XC70
  By Kirbart - February 7 - 10:00 am

  Great vehicle BUT the front seats r up to high and not much leg room in back. A/C not that cold.
