Every figure, group by group

Each cell is the range across the maker’s 2026 configurations of that model, with the small number of the document it comes from. A figure that is an estimate, an owners’ report or a third-party figure wears its mark and never decides a lead; a group where one model has no maker figure says so.

  • Each is its model’s lowest trim with four-wheel drive (four doors where the data splits by body), with the first engine and gearbox the maker lists for it.
  • Our data does not split the Wrangler by drive, so it is not named above; the Wrangler is matched on its other options.
  • A figure marked “with” needs that factory package; one without is the configuration as it comes.
