Kind of. By program targets it has insane thermal efficiency and borrows a lot from Slyactiv motors which weren’t particularly refined either.
I also disagree than the 2GR is smooth - coming from a J series I find them quite industrial and more of a SUV engine. Rode in a V6 RAV recently and I found it kind of loud and had a fair bit of road noise too
