A lot is the tech, and luxury materials, but also trying to offset development cost and slumping sales in other segments (cough cough EVs)
The smaller engines with turbo, mated to a cvt or high count gearboxes, are mainly to help meeting epa standards. Forced induction instead of larger displacement, although still can't compensate for low end torque. The trans helps keep the engine at optional rpm for max power and mpg
