It's not a problem. It will hold the gears longer to keep the revs up and warm up the engine quicker.

Now you are comparing an I4 with an I6. What Matt says holds true for most cars.

It probably has less to do with the engine configuration and more to do with the transmission and the way it is programmed. Regardless, it's normal, so you either have to deal with it or get a different car.
