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 Dodge Charger SXT ($23,315) faces the Honda Accord EX ($24,800); the most common trims on the market are the SCAT PACK (31.2% of Dodge Charger listings) and the LX (28.9% of Honda Accord listings); at the top of the market, the SRT HELLCAT ($78,309) faces the TOURING ($30,995). 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.
