The Skyactiv engines are way more efficient at low load. The torque curves are pretty telling, knock with the high compression ratio is managed by lowered VE cams. Direct injection makes up for some of it.

Gearing is probably taller due to the lower curb weight. EPA numbers for manual transmissions punish the 1st gear for being short which is stupid.
