Not sure what year your Ram is but I think when the redesign came out in 2017 they were ahead of everyone else in terms of quality and price point and since then and now I think other companies have caught up.
I'll say this. The 22' Carbon I had before It got totaled was miles ahead of the 2019 Rogue I had in terms of quality and craftsmanship. Also for 31.5K you couldn't find more in a car at that price point. Leather, moonroof, memory seats, power lift gate etc etc.
Same with my 23 Turbo especially these days. Find me a comparable for 37.5k ? The only two things that aggravate me that it doesn't have is wireless carplay and and rear parking sensors. But quality? Way nicer than my mothers 21 Forester and my brothers 21 rogue. I guess everyones MMV.

We just bought a '23 Carbon Edition and like it much better than the '18 Audi Q5 it replaced. The interior looks and feels more upscale and the seats are much more comfortable. Plus, no turbo, no DCT or CVT transmission, and no start/stop. Yes, we miss the power a little but after replacing the turbo on the Q5, I am glad to not have that worry along with the long list of other common failures on the Q5. The cylinder deactivation on the CX-5 does concern me a little.
The Audi became a nightmare after it hit 60K miles. We were never very pleased with it from the beginning but had to keep it for a while (6 years) to not lose so much on depreciation.
Stellantis/FCA has not been good for Chrysler/Dodge/Ram just as Mercedes tanked them when they had ownership. My dad worked for Chrysler for 42 years.

I have both and put lots of miles on both and ram power wagon is better quality build wise. I am at almost 8000 miles on the cx5 bought new Feb 21st. Ram 33000 miles and not so much as a rattle and paint is much better. I like both and you can believe what you want but I base my opinion on personal experience.

if you get lucky maybe
. like every new truck, you can spend over 80K if you want. they can take you places tho......that not everyone gets to see..
I meant it to mean I wonder if it isn't a fair comparison with a 37k 4 door small SUV.
