In France, a budget of around 20,000 euros allows the purchase of a Dacia Duster, a compact and practical SUV. This model is designed for everyday use, offering simplicity, durability, and features that cater to families and small-road driving. The entry-level version in France starts at 19,990 euros and is available with a range of trims and engine options, including a fuel-efficient model marked with an ECO sticker. It remains one of the few SUVs in Europe offering a strong price/performance ratio around this budget. In China, a similar budget of approximately 18,500 euros can secure a larger electric SUV with more advanced specifications. The Fang Cheng Bao Tai 3, which will be sold as the Denza B3 in Europe, is a prime example. This vehicle is comparable in size to a Toyota RAV4, with dimensions of 4,605 mm in length, 1,900 mm in width, and 1,720 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2,745 mm. It is designed for family use, combining a robust and practical appearance with modern electric technology. The Denza B3 is equipped with a 64.3 kWh battery, which provides an official range of 510 km according to the Chinese CLTC cycle. The rear electric motor delivers 240 kW, or 326 horsepower, allowing the SUV to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds. Weighing 1,920 kg, it also offers fast charging capabilities, with the battery charging from 10 to 70% in five minutes and from 10 to 97% in nine minutes. It has sold 5,945 units in July and over 30,000 units in the first seven months of 2026, indicating strong consumer interest. Comparing the Denza B3 and the Dacia Duster highlights the differences in specifications and market strategies. The Denza B3 offers a larger size, higher power, and advanced battery technology at a lower price in China. The Duster, while less powerful, is more compact and suited to European driving conditions and infrastructure. However, for the Denza B3 to be sold in Europe, additional costs such as customs duties, local taxation, homologation, transport, and the cost of establishing a sales network would be required. These factors could significantly increase its price in Europe, raising the question of how much of the Chinese cost advantage would remain after these additional expenses.
