The range now starts with the Titanium+ 4X2 AT variant, which is also available with 4WD. The Endeavour gets a 2.0-litre diesel engine which is rated at 170PS and 420Nm, mated to an India-first 10-speed automatic gearbox. 

The currently entry-level variant Titanium+ is loaded with all the essential features, while the Sport variant gets a few cosmetic enhancements. So, you can say the Endeavour now comes in a single fully loaded trim. 

It features an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Bi-LED headlamps, powered tailgate, electrically adjustable front seats, dual-zone climate control, panoramic sunroof, and semi-auto parallel park assist. 

Safety is covered by seven airbags, electronic stability control, rollover control, hill launch assist, automatic headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, a rear parking camera, tyre pressure monitoring system, and hill descent control.
