Head to head

Trim-by-trim prices (last 4 model years)

Like for like: at the cheapest common trims, the Dodge Durango GT ($30,949) faces the Honda CR-V LX ($28,280); the most common trims on the market are the GT (68.1% of Dodge Durango listings) and the EX-L (28.4% of Honda CR-V listings); at the top of the market, the GT HEMI ($45,777) faces the SPORT TOURING ($35,992). 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.
