The big difference in torque figure is not subjective between a gas NA engine versus a gas turbo engine. Peak torque is easily achievable in turbo engines (2k rpm vs 4k rpm) and usually, it is 60% more on similar displacements.

The ASX and the XT both have 2.0L displacements but the XT is turbocharged. There is a big difference in output on a regular drive, even if the XT is heavier.

The same comparison applies between a Honda City 1.5L NA versus a Civic 1.5L turbo.
