Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Versatile all-wheel drive, superb comfort, extensive array of safety equipment, solid construction, excellent brakes.

Cons

High price, lacks the true off-road capability of an SUV, odd control placement.

What’s new

The XC70 remains unchanged except for the addition of bi-xenon headlights to the options list and a revised steering system.

Edmunds says

A viable alternative for those who need an all-weather wagon but don't want the bulk and poor handling of most SUVs.

I am in love with my car

2004 Volvo XC70 AWD 4dr Wagon (2.5L 5cyl Turbo 5A)

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 …

Best car I have ever owned!

2004 Volvo XC70 AWD 4dr Wagon (2.5L 5cyl Turbo 5A)

I have always loved the way the XC70 has looked. Even now that I have owned it for about 10 years it still looks new. Yes I have taken care of the paint and plastic on the exterior. Yes I have tried to take care of the inside to. Yet I lived for three years where it got to 40 degrees below zero. The paint... Looks like new. Other than a few dings and scratches it looks great. The …

I read review by Bruce from Charlotte, detailing his mech issues with 2004 XC70. Unfortunately everything issue he described has occurred with my vehicle. Same time, same things. I have enjoyed my XC70 for 12 years, and hoped to reach the mileage levels known for Volvo's. The continuously repairs at high prices and now issues with the proprietary ABS module .

Stylish and comfortable

2004 Volvo XC70 AWD 4dr Wagon (2.5L 5cyl Turbo 5A)

We bought this car a couple of weeks back, so can't comment on reliability yet, I just gave it the average of the other ratings. My wife and I both had liked our old Volvo 740 station wagon, which even at 18 years was still more pleasant to drive than some midsize cars we recently tested. Therefore, we decided to get another Volvo and don't regret it. Performance is more than adequate. …
