I think its funny that they label the vertical axis with torque, and units (always appreciated) but have no numbers there.
The comparison is to highlight the different torque curves when using different octane fuels. It's not a comparison table of torque numbers and besides, the Skyactiv-X is still in prototype form and they can't reveal the real production torque figures yet. You can clearly see it is much better than the Skyactiv-G. If you really wanted to, you can try and measure the scales and work out the difference between the two with the current Skyactiv-G data.
Call it what you will. When they are good and ready the figures will be revealed
Just in time for when I plan to change from my 2016 CX5(yippy)I think that Toyota 2.5 hybrid and the next generation MZD Connect might roll out in 2019 according to this,

I understand where you're coming from but in their case my guess is that it aren't putting the figures you because at this moment they probably aren't reaching their targets. When they have they willI'm not saying they owe us numbers. Its the graph, a pet peeve of mine as an engineer. Don't list units if you aren't going to provide values. If its intended as qualitative only, just label the axis "Torque". Obvious they have a model with real values or they wouldn't be able to say x% more, let alone draw a proportional curve next to the others.
In any case, it should be a simple matter to overlay a scale based on one of the two existing engines.

I won't press the point, since I don't have the context for those graphs. They are snipped out of something.
This is similar to when I objected to using a poster using lbs as unit of torque. Perhaps its semantics, or me just being pedantic.
If you show me a graph with shaped lines and an X (horizontal) axis with scale (numerical values), I expect to be able to interpolate values from the Y-axis, especially when the Y(vertical) axis is labeled with units of measure. In this case, NM. If they hadn't put a scale on the X axis, I also wouldn't have said anything. That's what I'd expect if they were just trying to show the general relationship between the 3 engines.
This looks like a chart that was generated with data points, not a powerpoint freehand drawing for marketing managers.
Again, I'm not saying they owe us the data, or should have shown the data, just don't give us a format for data without the data. In other words, if you aren't giving the data, don't pretend to. It reinforces scientific illiteracy.
Starting from 2019, Mazda will offer the mild-hybrid versions of its vehicles. The automakers first all-electric vehicle is also set to be launched in 2019 which will also have a rotary range extender option. The EV will be showcased in 2018.
In 2021, Mazda will introduce the plug-in hybrid vehicles. Mazda's Managing Executive Officer for powertrain development, Ichiro Hirose states that the decision to make an EV before a plug-in hybrid makes more sense with the regulations in key markets.

You know I was thinking about the different curves for the different octanes and there may be a simple explanation. There are 2 versions of the current SkyActiv G motor. One has a compression ration of 13:1 which is sold in the US and Australia and runs on 91 RON (87 octane). The other has a compression ratio of 14:1 which is sold in Europe and runs on 95 RON (91 octane). The one with the higher compression ratio does in fact produce a bit more power and torque. I suspect we may simply be seeing that they'll do the same thing with SkyActive X as they don't want to have to require premium in the US or Australia and I'm sure there are some other countries getting the lower octane version as well due to the fuel standards there.
So they're not showing two graphs of the same engine on different types but rather the two versions of the engine designed for two different fuel types respectively.
