Answer 1

I see others have all noted better fuel efficiency. Let me put that into context. I drive a Range Rover Velar in the U.K. On motorways at 70mph I get well over 50mpg. I looked up the figures for the USA and the official highway MPG is 26

Even accounting for our gallon being a bit bigger than yours, that’s a huge difference.
