They likely have the same basic requirements regarding how well it runs on 87 for the new model as for the current one. Could be improvements to combustion chamber design, fueling, and spark control make it possible to have the same "driveability" with lower octane fuel with the increased compression ratio.

long/short: I wouldn't worry about it... Especially since we're all gonna use 91 octane minimum anyway!
