One of the main reasons that the AT accelerates slower than the MT is that the final drive ratios in the diff are different, and more so in the 2017+ models, where the final drive in the MT was even further shortened. The gear ratios for the AT are better for highway cruising (NVH and Gas Mileage) because of this, resulting in a lower RPM at the same vehicle speed.

Note: this applies to the North America models, European models may be different
