I've allready posted this in another topic about the Terri but same question, so here is my reply, cut and paste,

Because it is an SUV, designed to be an all round vehicle and specially designed to take the family touring, and touring to me and most people mean's doing klm's, now whether that be around Australia or just on a quick holiday up the coast, having the bigger tank mean's touring becomes a whole lot eaiser espcially if touring in remote places, so you dont have to plan your trip around refuelling or when and where you can.
So an SUV like the Territory should be tackling the likes of the Toyota Prado which has a huge 150L tank, and is renowed for it's touring capabilties.
If they want to make hey it would be a plus considering the type of auidence the Territory is designed at.
