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 Ford Bronco Sport BIG BEND ($27,207) faces the Nissan Rogue S ($19,999); the most common trims on the market are the BIG BEND (56.1% of Ford Bronco Sport listings) and the SV (64.5% of Nissan Rogue listings); at the top of the market, the BADLANDS ($33,183) faces the PLATINUM ($28,998). 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.
