A fair comparison matches equivalent trims, not overall medians. Like for like: at the cheapest common trims, the GMC Acadia SLE ($28,191) faces the Nissan Rogue S ($20,485); the most common trims on the market are the ELEVATION (32.3% of GMC Acadia listings) and the SV (65.3% of Nissan Rogue listings); at the top of the market, the ELEVATION ($44,457) faces the PLATINUM ($29,066). 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.
