I don’t know. My brother works for a legacy manufacturer and claims the difference in material cost between small and large vehicles is minimal. Assembly cost is far more than material cost. He used this to justify why they couldn’t make a small truck: it’s equally complex to assemble and the materials cost difference is minimal so they couldn’t make it enough cheaper that anyone would buy it.
Up to you whether to buy the company line but that’s the claim
