The numbers you quote are engine only, steady state, Wide Open Throttle numbers and are generally used for marketing and base engine target setting. They are run engine only (no trans etc.) in a dynamometer cell.
What you feel in a vehicle is acceleration at the seat track. This is with the entire powertrain installed. Most of the “torque feel” a customer experiences on a daily basis is some sort of tip in from road load event, with or without downshift. The engine response is not at WOT, but coming off of road load at generally a low engine speed and pedal (throttle). The response of the entire powertrain is transient, not steady state as measured in the engine only dyno.
F=ma a=F/m
F (vehicle tractive force) = engine torque*torque converter torque ratio*trans gear ratio*final drive ratio*tire rolling radius*efficiency
The customer generally is looking for a quick acceleration feel, shortly after tip in (as in, measured in millisecond), prior to any downshift. While vastly improved over prior engines the 2.3L GTDI still has some turbo lag, somewhat exasperated by a larger turbo (which helps with max, steady state torque numbers, but is detrimental to transient response).
Unless one has accelerometer data from the seat track, comparing two like events, it is difficult to tell which has better tip in response.
Standing WOT acceleration is a different story, but is also an event that customers rarely perform.
