Toyota advertises close ratio in the lower few gears . At what upper gear can you tell it's getting into much taller or overdriven territory?

Nu18F - I have the sales brochure in front of me that I got from the dealership. Here's a direct quote out of it:
"Three pedals. Six speeds. One fun drive. Corolla's available 6-speed Intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT) features close-ratio gears down low for spirited acceleration and taller gears up top for optimized fuel economy while cruising. It also incorporates an intelligent rev-matching feature, helping reduce transmission shock when downshifting."

Anyway, that's all it says. Note that the brochure uses "gears" in the plural form for taller gears. So, I'm just going to presume that both 5th and 6th gears are overdrive gears. Anything below that, I don't know at this time.
