Yup, 54 MPGe

The actual figure varies. The new CAFE # calculation is quite unclear (even though the tests are published), and varies based on the "footprint" of the vehicle.


OP: Part of it is the numbers fooling you.

CX-5: ~29 mpg http://www.fuelly.com/car/mazda/cx-5
06 Corolla: ~31mpg http://www.fuelly.com/car/toyota/corolla

Still pretty impressive though.
