Yep starting at less than $12,000 US in China, I can’t imagine a sub-20K MSRP would be entirely out of the question

It's ugly and high, but not big:

Length 3,381 mm (133.1 in)
Width 1,685 mm (66.3 in)
Height 1,721 mm (67.8 in)
Kerb weight 1,006 kg (2,218 lb).

Man, that curb weight seems completely off for that tall of a vehicle. If it's true, than sure it's just tall and ugly and not that heavy. Sport Utility Vehicles that aren't sporty, don't have much utility should just be cars. Tall vehicles objectively drive worse, and are less safe for everyone.

How is the weight so low¿? It is not small enough to be just a ton

Because cars made for the US have tons of extra stuff and weight for safety and cars made for other countties don't have to have it.
