Gear Ratio 2016 Yaris

I took delivery of my new Yaris about a week ago.

1.3 Dual VVT-i 6 speed manual (99HP) 16"alloys
Style is similar to the SE

My question here, before I ask the dealer (or if I ask him) is
can the gear ratio be set UP by software or is it always a mechanical job ?

Highway speeds in Denmark are 70-80Mph
Two lane roads are 50-55Mph
Maybe it's just a matter of ,You bought a small car with a small engine boy, get used to it ?

As you can see I'm not a car mechanic :-)

The reason I ask is that I am used to diving a RAV4 from 2007 and
it bothers me that in 6th gear the Yaris still seems to be *powering* not
cruising. The RPM is about 1900-2000. It just gives me the *feeling* there
must be another gear. Just feels like the engine is still revving too much.

Haven't taken a photo of the car yet but here is the model from Toyota site
Same color as mine
