It is achieved with different ratios in the rack. There is a different part number for the two, so you could swap an SE into an non-SE.
Those steering ratios can't be right. The 2015 Honda Fit steering ratio is 14.1. The Nissan Versa is 16.8. A Ford F-150 has a 20.0:1 ratio.

EDIT: It does say those ratios even on Toyota's press material, but it cannot be right. My Suzuki Sidekick has a steering ratio of 19.4:1 and I assure you its steering is MUCH slower. Plus, the previous-gen Yaris has a 19.7:1 ratio.
