The Mahindra TUV300 Endurance was part of the Adventure Zone at the currently running Auto Expo 2016 alongside the Thar DayBreak edition. The thoroughly customised version retained the imposing stature from the standard model with added body kit and aftermarket touches to bring forth quirkiness of its own.

The rugged body kit gives a premium adventure appeal with the high-quality matte finish in Lakesoil Brown enhancing the overall stance. The exterior styling is complemented by the body kit elements such as sturdier front bumper appliqué besides matte finish grey paint scheme in contrast with the black body cladding.
