Overview & Reviews

Changes are minimal for the XC90's second year on the market. All models get wheel and tire upgrades -- 2.5Ts will wear 225/70R17 rubber and T6s will wear 235/65R17 rubber, but both get the same 17-inch "Neptune" wheels. Ice White is a new exterior color choice. Stand-alone options now include a wood steering wheel, aluminum dash inlays and a leather shift knob.

• Safe as a bank vault, plush ride, feels smaller than it is, high-quality interior materials, ample cargo room.

• Turbocharged T6 engine not well suited to SUV duty, third-row seating takes up too much second-row space.

  Stylish and fun to drive - 2004 Volvo XC90
  By Carol - November 23 - 1:43 am

  I have had my XC90 nearly three years and love it as much as when I first got it. Reliability and dealer performance have been excellent. Car very solid and secure-feeling. We bought this car when our son was appraoching driving age, beacause of reputation for safety. Minor complaint: Tires wear out quickly due to heavy weight. Major complaint: Gas mileage has never approached Volvo projections.

  An exceptional SUV from Volvo - 2004 Volvo XC90
  By HappywithmyXC90 - October 31 - 10:00 am

  I waited for this vehicle a long time and I am glad I did. My T6 is in Sapphire Black with graphite interior and it is absolutely beautiful. The quality of materials and workmanship is outstanding. This SUV is pleasure to drive, rugged and sophisticated at the same time. I love the performance and the ride, not to mention feeling safe and confident on the road.

  Love my Volvo - 2004 Volvo XC90

  From the first day I bought the car it has been great. I have to take it on long trips and Ive always felt safe even in some bad storms. I have a very steep driveway and in the winter the car handles it fine. It has great gas mileage for the size and comfort of the car. It still looks like new in and out. Im looking to buy another one.

  Must see before Benz, Acura & BMW buy - 2004 Volvo XC90
  By zuomo - October 19 - 2:00 am

  I was pleasantly surprised with the innovativations within the interior. More room than its competitors + safety first. I personally like the body style better than the BenzM320, Acura MDX and the over priced BMW. The Volvo handles well and the interior is luxury just like youd find in more $$$ competitors. Im very happy and satisfied. (If i had to do it again Id get the ALL wheel drive option. FW drive pulls steering on quick acelleration).

  2.5AWD - 2004 Volvo XC90
  By HappyXC90Owner - October 14 - 10:00 am

  Very comfortable ride, and easy to drive. I like the split tail/liftgate which makes the huge cargo room easy to load. The liftgate is smaller than many comparable SUVs and I can easily open it in the garage with the garage door closed. Researched many midsized SUVs and the XC90 had the best interior space for limited exterior size that could easily fit in our small garage. No problems with the car at all. Performed VERY well in deep snow in the mountains this past winter where many other 4WD vehicles had problems. Did not buy this vehicle to drive off road but I was glad to know how well it handled.

  Volvo XC90 Review - 2004 Volvo XC90
  By John - October 11 - 2:53 pm

  My Volvo XC90 defiantly rides smooth and quiet. The only complaint about the whole car is the pickup speed and acceleration. It is jerky sometimes when you go to accelerate. Other than that everything else makes up for that one flaw.

  Best in class - 2004 Volvo XC90
  By bballnut - September 24 - 10:00 am

  Exceeded my expectations. Fun to drive and performs well in bad weather. Pulls the PWCs out of water without slipping on the ramp. Center section of rear seat folds to keep two kids separated and provides a place to set the Playstation 2 for playing games and watching DVDs. Also a great place to put the water skis. Fold flat 3rd row seats provide ample storage space for dog cage and luggage.

  Good Vehicle - 2004 Volvo XC90
  By Davey60 - August 26 - 8:23 pm

  Bought this as a CPO after my Highlander was totaled - was looking for a little bigger SUV. I am not disapointed. Did lots a research on the SUV and knew enough to stay away from the T6 with its trannsmission problems.

  Loved this car! - 2004 Volvo XC90
  By jena - August 22 - 7:56 pm

  Bought this car used a year ago with ~30K miles on it to replace a 00 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I loved the XC90. It is so fun to drive, looks great, has great options (heated seats, navi, dvd, wood steering wheel, etc), was comfortable to sit in, and had no big problems. Only in the shop once when I thought it was making a funny noise. Dealership was great, it was still under warranty so they fixed noise and a couple other things (stereo light had gone out). Had two kids with car seats in the 2nd row. Access to the 3rd row was hard, but you really cant fit a human being in the 3rd row anyway. Better to keep the 3rd row down for more cargo room. Sadly totaled this car but it kept us safe!

  Love this car !! - 2004 Volvo XC90
  By YOGIMA - August 13 - 10:00 am

  What a great car ! Having always liked Volvos for their safety and reliability..we have one with 165,000 and going strong.. This car has far exceeded my expectations. I find it very luxurious and nice to drive. The versatitlity with the seating is wonderful and easy to use. The only down side is the visibility with the 2 rear columns..I just had to get used to using my side mirrors more. I also just discovered that the car can be driven manually which is fun and has also increased the already great fuel economy. I highly recommend this car to any family.
