We have super cheap car in Europe which cost much less (see Dacia). And for exemple, Renault is selling a 3500€ car in India (https://www.renault.co.in/vehicles/personal-cars/kwid.html). As a note, this same auto manufacturer is leader of electric car in Europe with Renault Zoe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault_Zoe), even if sells are disapointing due to poor autonomy.


Yes, but that's a compact car, not a van.

The Renault Lodgy is more a more appropriate comparison and it starts around 9 lakh ($13500/12000€)in India. Which is still substantially more than our $8k target price.


Right, but I can imagine Renault doing a van on the same basis. From 4000$(3500€) to 8000$ is a huge gap for changing only the auto body. It is also funny to see that Dacia Lodgy is more expensive in India than here in France with more regulation where it cost 9900€ (http://www.dacia.fr/gamme-dacia/lodgy/), closer to your target price.
