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.

  Still Thrilled - 2004 Volvo XC90
  By Still Thrilled - May 5 - 8:03 am

  Its been 2 years and 33,000 miles since taking delivery overseas through Volvos Overseas Delivery Program. I enjoy driving it today just as much as I enjoyed the thrill of that first time in Sweden. No major mechnical problems. Have had some minor early-production- life issues solved under warranty and when the dealer was stumped, Volvo North America rep stepped in to help. Gas milage improved significantly after 10K miles and avg in the 20-24 range for me now, with about 30/70 city/highway driving. Never see it drop below 18mpg anymore. Plenty of power for Rocky Mountain driving. I really enjoy this car!!

  Great Solid SUV - 2004 Volvo XC90
  By sabremax - April 24 - 2:00 am

  This is my first SUV owned. I believe I am spoiled. This car is so solid. It just doesnt appear to be as big and roomy as it is. Controls are beautifully placed and very functional. It has all the "necessary" bells and whistles without all the ones that you never use. The ride is smooth and quiet. This Volvo gives you a real sense of stability on the road.

  Shockingly great - 2004 Volvo XC90
  By better than Lexus - April 19 - 10:00 am

  We own a 2002 Lexus SC430 and love it. We recently decided to get an SUV, too. This was the one we chose. We love it. The navigation system is different from the Lexus and has some pros it just takes learning the difference (like computers). Really sharp, well designed, comfortable and enjoyable. Got everything but securty. Love DVD, etc. Will buy this brand again, although we never had one before now. It is a different type of fun car (big car fun versus little convertible fun).

  Early Purchase Review - 2004 Volvo XC90
  By Donald W. Davis - April 13 - 10:00 am

  This vehicle is everything I had hoped it would be. Performance and styling is excellent! It gives me performance and allows me to enjoy the same luxury that I have in my Mercedes.

  Happy Owner - 2004 Volvo XC90
  By haef - April 13 - 10:00 am

  As an early owner of the XC90, I am pleased to say that this vehicle has exceeded expectations in almost all ways, now with 33,000 miles. We have the T6 AWD 5 pass with the 17 in wheels. Our biggest disappointment has been the OEM Perilli tires, which Volvo replaced at 17000 miles due to excessive noise which gradually built up over time. It was nice of Volvo to replace them, but theyre doing it again. We love the ride and handling, and the seats support my poor old back like no others! We drive from MI to CO 2-3 times a year, LOADED, and it still drives and handles great. In the mountains it really pulls, even with a load.

  First Volvo-Love It!! - 2004 Volvo XC90
  By cj - April 3 - 8:03 pm

  Overall, love my 2004 Volvo. Great sound system, navigation system, comfortable seats and love the 3rd row option. Radio controls and temperature gages are easy to read and use. Only complaint I have with Volvo is mechanically they make great cars..but guys, why cheat on the small things. My rear windshield wiper has already broken, my passenger visor light burned out, driver/mid back area adjuster broke inside my seat (6 mo after purchase of car). With such overall great quality of car, use those standards all the way around.

  S80 to XC90 - 2004 Volvo XC90
  By day6142 - March 7 - 10:00 am

  The XC90 has an S80 ride and while it steers like a dream, it is an SUV and is not quite the driving experience as the S80.

  The best SUV Ive ever owned - 2004 Volvo XC90
  By Myrtle Beach Momma - September 22 - 2:00 am

  Since we bought this car, Ive been in heaven! It handles so well and it is an extremely safe vehicle. Everwhere we go , people turn heads to look at my car! I usually find someone staring into it at least once a week. After test driving many new American SUVs this ones the cream de la cream! I dont even mind making car payments again!
