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 ($20,843) faces the Ford Edge SE ($23,899); the most common trims on the market are the 1LT (27.5% of Chevrolet Equinox listings) and the SEL (77.4% of Ford Edge listings); at the top of the market, the ACTIVE ($32,157) faces the TITANIUM ($27,900). 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.
