Head to head
Trim-by-trim prices (last 4 model years)
A fair comparison matches equivalent trims, not overall medians. Like for like: at the cheapest common trims, the Chevrolet Equinox LS ($21,588) faces the Ford Edge SE ($24,250); the most common trims on the market are the LT (1LT) (28.4% of Chevrolet Equinox listings) and the SEL (77.3% of Ford Edge listings); at the top of the market, the ACTIVE ($32,978) faces the TITANIUM ($28,897). Share = portion of the model's trim-labeled used listings (a supply-side popularity signal: what the market actually stocks and sells most). “Cheapest”/“Priciest” mark the ends of the quotable trim range — trim ladders don't map one-to-one across brands, so this is not a factory base-model claim.
