My tester came with the Cold Zone package, which includes heated seats up to negative 10 degree Celsius temperatures. I must admit they took a little while to warm up, no doubt accentuated by the cold leather seats, but were nevertheless a warm welcome when fully toasting the higher of two settings.

While the rear seats don't feature bun warmers, at least those in back can set their own temperature controls via a dial on the backend of the front console. Rear occupants should be comfortable too, with near limousine-like legroom, ample headroom and what I wouldn't be surprised is class-leading shoulder and hip room to boot. Truly, the Endeavor's overall interior spaciousness is unusual for its midsize outer dimensions. If you regularly travel with five adults they could be hardly cared for better, with seats that are not only accommodating but also extremely supportive. There's in fact so much room in Mitsubishi's SUV that I would be surprised if a 7-passenger version wasn't offered sometime in the near future. What a welcome addition this would be for the brand, one of few that doesn't offer a minivan in North America. Those needing to carry more than five currently have to move up to Mitsubishi's more truck-like Montero.

Until then the Endeavor offers a massive rear cargo area with up to 1,152 L (40.7 cu ft) of volume available even when the 60/40 split rear seatbacks are upright. What's more, if a larger load necessitates more room up to 1,011 L (35.7 cu ft) can be added for a total of 2,163 L (76.4 cu ft) when the rear seats are folded flat. To put the Endeavor's cargo capacity into perspective, it can easily accommodate a 4x8 stack of plywood or drywall sheets. Try that in anything other than a minivan and you'll be vacuuming out white crumblies for weeks.
