I once read very interest review, which could explain some things (sure, not 100%).
In review compared vw caddy, and same niche machines from Fiat and Peugeot, and also they added Kia H1.
There was many interest, but one thing - when H1 was totally other niche machine (light truck), it was nearly two times more expensive to buy than others in comparison, but in long run, if you you have constant feed of loads, light truck is cheaper and more convenient to use than minivan.
For example, few weeks ago I hear on one new EV tires not last usual 1000s miles, because they use tires for typical machine, but this one weight much more and run much faster.
