TBH, I'm not sure of any car with a reasonable sized engine
that has peak torque at 5krpm.

Peak torque is usually arround 3500-4000rpm, while on a diesel
usually arround 1700-2500rpm.

My Honda Jazz CVT, one of the most economical petrol hatchbacks,
has peak torque at 2800rpm, peak power at 5700rpm. Round town on a
good level road, light foot, it will drift along at around 30mph
with the engine doing little more than 1000rpm.

Exactley like I said, only I got the peak torque higher than reality,
but far below the other posters suggestion.
