This is a compromise sacrificing some top end power for the flat torque I think.

From the gauge cluster dyno chart, it looks like torque drops a little from the 3700 peak to redline (with small dip in the middle). Peak HP yields a 171.1 ftlb, vs. 184 ftlb at the torque peak.
Current gen 2017+ has 156 ftlb at peak torque and 153.8 ftlb at peak HP, albeit in a much narrower powerband.
I'll reserve judgement until I drove it, but I feel like they went with the spirit of the times - more low end torque, less top end. It's a wonder they kept the high revs at all, though. Hopefully the top end will still be exciting.
