To an extent - the initial wave of these cars were on commercial chassis, ladder frames with a sheet metal box on top. That’s significantly cheaper than a good monocoque chassis. But! The commercials based SUV was also huge - so you could charge a lot. Cheap underneath, looked imposing- and lots of margin for the dealer.
