The Mitsubishi Endeavor lineup has two trims. The LS is the practical entry trim, with V6 power, a roomy five-person cabin, and useful everyday features. The SE is the comfort and technology step-up, adding leather-trimmed heated seats, navigation, a rearview camera, a sunroof, and premium audio.
The Base Model trim level, sold as the LS, is the straightforward Endeavor built around passenger space, cargo flexibility, and everyday convenience.
Best for: Shoppers who want a roomy V6 crossover without the SE’s upscale extras.
Highlights
The Mid-Level trim level, sold as the SE, gives the Endeavor a more upscale feel with added comfort, cabin technology, and premium finishes.

Highlights
Adds leather-trimmed heated front seats, built-in navigation, a rearview camera, a sunroof, premium audio, automatic climate control, and a power driver’s seat over the LS while keeping the same 225-hp 3.8-liter V6.

In the 2010-2011 lineup, LS is the straightforward trim and SE is the more comfort- and technology-focused trim. Both keep the Endeavor’s five-seat layout and V6 power.
The LS is the practical late-lineup Endeavor. It has the V6, Bluetooth calling, keyless entry, cruise control, a folding rear seat, alloy wheels, and core safety equipment without the SE’s upscale extras.
The SE is the more fully equipped late-lineup trim. It adds comfort and technology such as leather-trimmed heated seats, premium audio, automatic climate control, and a power driver’s seat.
The difference is equipment, not basic size or power. In the late lineup, LS covers everyday needs, while SE adds a more upscale cabin plus items such as heated leather-trimmed seats and premium audio.
No. In the 2010-2011 lineup, LS and SE use the same 225-horsepower 3.8-liter V6 and four-speed automatic. Moving to SE mainly adds comfort, convenience, and technology.
The LS is the better match. In the late lineup, it keeps the V6, Bluetooth calling, keyless entry, cruise control, and folding rear seat while leaving out many of the SE’s added luxury features.
Look for an SE from the late lineup. Its heated leather-trimmed front seats, automatic climate control, eight-way power driver’s seat, and premium audio create a more comfort-focused cabin.
The SE has leather seating surfaces and heated front seats in the 2010-2011 trim lineup. The LS is the simpler cloth-seat alternative.
No, not across every late model. Navigation and the rearview camera became standard on every SE for 2011. On a 2010 SE, verify the equipment on the individual vehicle.
The SE is the trim associated with the power glass sunroof in the 2010-2011 lineup. It became standard on every SE for 2011, so equipment on a 2010 example should be checked.
The SE has the upgraded Rockford audio system with nine speakers and steering-wheel audio controls in the late lineup. The LS uses the more basic audio setup.
Yes. For 2010 and 2011, both LS and SE include Bluetooth hands-free calling with voice recognition.
In the 2010-2011 lineup, the LS has 17-inch alloy wheels and the SE has 18-inch alloy wheels. The larger SE wheels are a visual distinction rather than a power upgrade.
