Mitsubishi Endeavor Review

Available Late on the Endeavor will be the Mitsubishi Active Skid and Traction Control M-ASTC. Current models of the Endeavor sport Mitsubishi Active Skid Vehicle Stability Control System and Traction Control. Both the LS FWD and the Endeavor Limited AWD are equipped with a standard 3.8-liter, V6, 215-horsepower engine with an iron block, aluminum heads and single overhead cam that achieves 17-mpg in the city and 23/21-mpg on the highway. Also common to both the Endeavor LS FWD and the Limited AWD is a four-speed Sportronic automatic transmission with manual shifting capability. The information we received from the manufacturer for our Mitsubishi Endeavor review was that the towing capacity of the new Endeavor is 3500 lb.

Competing with models such as the Honda Highlander and Pilot, the Mitsubishi Endeavor comes with the following standard features:

• Driver Airbag
• Front Side Impact Airbags
• Mitsubishi/Infinity Premium AM/FM Stereo With 315-Watts and 7 Speakers
• 6-Disc In-Dash CD Changer

Acknowledging the limitations that the Mitsubishi Endeavor has being a car-based vehicle, Mitsubishi offers a special towing package to more closely align itself with the likes of the Ford Explorer:

• Full Size Spare Tire
• Prewiring For Tow Hitch
• Transmission Cooler
• Transfer Differential Oil Cooler

The cabins of both the Endeavor LS and the XLS display an eye-catching instrument panel with audio and climate controls mounted in a center robot-like pod. The LS model Endeavor is designed with black accents outside while the more expensive models have chrome touches or color enhancements. Safety minded individuals will be appeased by the availability of front side airbags. As most of us remember the Mitsubishi Endeavor commercial song, Mitsubishi also hopes you will remember the pure driving enjoyment you get when you experience a test drive.
