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 Jeep Cherokee OVERLAND ($42,555) faces the Nissan Rogue S ($20,067); the most common trims on the market are the OVERLAND (100.0% of Jeep Cherokee listings) and the SV (64.4% of Nissan Rogue listings). 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.
