Agreed
BTW I love PETA also and a 20 gallon tank should be a no brainer on any midsized SUV. Gross oversight and won't settle for that 4 banger diesel dog when they should have used the td6 like in the RR. TATA has a recent history of doing some REALLY stupid stuff in their designs. Even Evoque has a ~18.5 gallon tank and its lucky to get 25 on the highway because TATA lies about it now or test with ridiculous hypermiling tricks like lugging at 1200rpms in a 4 banger.....How is it that most BMW's overachieve ratings and no new TATA product comes close???

With all due respect, does USA not have regularly placed petrol stations (or is it gas stations?)?! Do you actually need 400miles range, other than the annoyance factor of having to stop?
I guess here in the UK we dont actually need that much range as we are so tiny, can drive the whole length or breadth in half a day (probably less if you arent worried about the police)!

BMW passenger automobile history 1929 to today - design, develop, build. And they are Germans, they do have a bit of a talent for engineering.
TATA passenger automobile history 1991 to today - mostly through takeovers using other peoples technology.
Different thinking, approach and pedigree. Its a credit to TATA that they do as well as they do.

Re small capacity on Brit cars, I guess we have different usage patterns to our U.S. Brothers, we don't really use our top cars, we just have them to impress and howl away from petrol stations making as much noise as poss, with fuel at over $10 a gallon we generally go for a splash and dash approach, plus we can only dream of driving long distances without hitting the sea, perhaps London to Edinburgh but then who wants to sit on the m1 or m6 for hours. Re hunting lodge; How many salmon or elk can you fit in the trunk/ boot of an F?

The F-Pace is beautiful and powerful, but it only has a 16.6 gal fuel tank.
Perhaps it's acceptable in a sports car, but I need range in an SUV when my hunting camp is 400 miles away.
Maybe it's adequate for the diesel, but when your flagship has 380 hp (and more on the way), WTF?

I'm ok with that, but for some that may be an issue I agree.

My car 2005 XJ8L has 22.5 gallons
My previous 1986 XJ6 SIII had TWO tanks totaling 24 gallons.
I don't hunt or do anything of the 'roughing-it' stuff but if I did, I would probably use an old truck or suv not a fresh pristine one, but that's just me (and 95% of Angelenos).
