Mitsubishi's Endeavor SUV undergoes some notable trim and features adjustments for the 2006 model year. The mid-level XLS trim has been dropped, reducing the total number of Endeavor variants to four. ABS has been added to the base LS standard features list, and all front-wheel drive models now come with traction control. The Limited loses leather upholstery and heated seats, but both are still available as options. These changes are part of a mid-cycle update, which includes some interior and exterior design alterations.
The Endeavor lineup is available with LS and Limited styles, and both can be had with either front or all-wheel drive. Convenience items like air conditioning, full power accessories, keyless entry, and CD player are standard across the board. All Endeavors also get 17-inch alloy wheels, tow preparation and a full size spare. The Limited is set apart by a more powerful stereo, a power driver seat and automatic climate control.
All Endeavors are powered by a 3.8 liter V-6, mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. This engine delivers 225 horsepower and 250 pound-feet of torque. The Endeavor will tow 3500 pounds, and fuel economy is estimated at 17/23 mpg.
The Endeavor is set apart from mid-size crossover competitors by its unique styling, and this has been a strong selling point for consumers. Reviewers report that the Endeavor offers a fine blend of car and SUV elements, adding the Endeavor combines a car-like ride, 4x4 abilities and adequate cargo space (75 cubic feet) in one attractive package.
The interior design is also rather bold, with metallic trim and blue backlighting. A closer examination reveals some lower grade materials, but the Endeavor's cabin is definitely distinctive. This SUV does not offer third row seating or an optional navigation system.
What owners say
"Owners of the 2006 Mitsubishi Endeavor generally appreciate its reliability, spacious interior, and performance, particularly in terms of handling and gas mileage. Many love the all-wheel drive, especially in adverse weather conditions. However, some noted minor issues like the sunroof malfunction and discontinued model status as drawbacks."
I love everything about it...tons of room and very comfortable to drive any distance. AWD is amazing especially in the weather we have been getting. Performance seems to be better than most other SUV's similar. And priced in nearly 10 grand cheaper than a Honda Pilot
December 22, 2008very good on style and interior design and on gas use cargo area is very good could use a third row of seats but would make rear very small awd is very good i would rate it along with an mdx
August 31, 2013I test drove the Mitsubishi Endeavor on a whim and fell in love with it. It has the get-up-and-go pep I need, the room the kids need, and a sophisticated look that doesn't embarrass the parents when riding with me. I have some safety features that I'm not sure are standard or not, but one is that the head lights will automatically turn off if I forget to do it. The other one is when I use the remote unlock and do not get to my vehicle within 30 seconds, it will lock itself back up. Great SUV!

August 29, 2007Interior is better looking than the exterior. Handling, performance are good considering it is a SUV. It has amazing gas mileage (if I am to believe the in dash monitor). We usually average 28 MPGs. Overall, it has been a good car.
May 28, 2008the only problem I see, is that the model is already discontinued, the little malfunction of the sunroof, and the painting of the upper rack. In the other hand I have never go to the workshop for any extraordinary reparation and I've done the periodic preventive maintenance as instructed in the manual.
April 17, 2014I have one. Its reliable. I have a few little things wrong with it. But I would buy another
