It's likely this is a downsized and "downspeeded" engine. It probably hits peak torque ostensibly at 1700-2000rpm and falls on its face by 5000-5500. That's how these types of engines are. It may employ heavy use of external EGR, possibly cooled EGR like a diesel.
It's not going to use the D-4S system because there's really no point in doing so. The D-4S system, as currently implemented, is expensive and only makes sense for n/a engines. I suspect this new engine will have one solenoid-type multi-hole injector positioned between the intake valves.
The CVT is a wild card here. The calibration of the CVT and the electronic throttle will affect the driving feel greatly. If you've ever driven a Juke with CVT (1.6 direct injected turbo), they technically heat peak torque at very low rpm but you can't feel it due to the CVT calibration.
