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.

  Awesome 5 cylinders - 2004 Volvo XC90
  By P Pletcher - March 29 - 10:53 am

  This is the vehicle Porsche should have built. Its lighter in weight by 900 pounds than the Cayenne, and it has a great little 5-cylinder that delivers all the torque right there at 1500 rpm. Very thoughtful, great engineering, beautiful concept, I hated to see the V8 come along because the model was unique without it in the showrooms.

  Near-perfect family vehicle - 2004 Volvo XC90
  By CPRNY - March 11 - 10:00 am

  Great car for Mom AND Dad. Well- appointed, worth every $. Lots of smart family features. Comfortable seats, great audio (upgrd), good visibility. Smart layout, good finish. Our first Volvo and likely not our last.

  Love It - 2004 Volvo XC90
  By AFE - March 11 - 10:00 am

  Got my new XC90 in late May to drive from Florida to Vermont on its first trip. I was very pleasantly surprised of its confort and ease to drive on a long trip. The enhanced stereo option was worth the additional cost. My only suggestion for improvement would to relocate the clock to a more central location on the dash so it would be visable to passengers also. I would highly recommend this SUV to any family as the third row seating is great. I looked first at BMW, Mercedes and Lexus but the Volvo was better.

  Its a Cool Car - 2004 Volvo XC90
  By GDP - January 21 - 2:00 am

  The Volvo XC 90 is a very cool / sleek SUV with all the safety features to keep your kids safe and sound. It does feel "heavy" but I guess that makes it all the more safer. We love it.

  Driven over 115,000 miles - 2004 Volvo XC90
  By dough - January 17 - 10:23 am

  If the headlight covers were not so pitted, it would still look new, inside and out. After 60,000 miles I started changing my own oil and at 105,000 had that service done by a pro. We have the 2.5 and I wish it would shift to 5th gear earlier than it does. Otherwise, we just drive the thing. I have read a lot of reviews and we have not had the issues some reviewers note. Had a couple of issues that the dealer took care of. Does what I want. Looks fine in the driveway, starts and goes when we want. I carry most of the stuff. Level floor works like a mini van. Hope to get another 100,000 miles before replacing. Replaced front brake pads at 70,000 miles

  I Roll, Volvo - 2004 Volvo XC90
  By Volvo Pride - January 5 - 5:56 pm

  My 04, XC90 is a tank; in a good way. Handles great in the snow and any wet weather and most assuredly can tear up the pavement. The third row seating could use more room, but after all it is a midsized suv. This is my 5th Volvo and 7th in two generations. I have 167,765 miles on my vehicle with the original transmission and turbos. Tires have come and gone, but the brakes have only been replaced once. As far as cost of upkeep...I bought a Volvo. No one who buys a Benz complains about price.

  Best vehicle Ive ever owned - 2004 Volvo XC90
  By leftatdunkirk - December 29 - 9:03 pm

  Up to 95,000 miles and going strong. Cost more to maintain than my Toyota 4Runner did, but well worth it. The Toyota always felt like work, while the Volvo feels like home. You sit on most seats, but sit in these. Will it easily do 120mph? Without admitting to anything, Id have to say yes. The 5cyl turbo is the way to go, as this engine/trans combo seem to be bullet-proof. I test drove this and the Honda Pilot, and am glad our family of six is moving in the Volvo.

  First impressions have proved accurate! - 2004 Volvo XC90
  By Chinyere - December 15 - 10:00 am

  Drives very well and the Navigation system is one of the easier ones in the market. The steering is a bit on the light side and takes some getting used to but once youve driven it a few times its really smooth. Feels stable on the road and visibility is great.
