But all the drivetrain components are from Toyota.

Mechanically, the drivetrain is identical to the Prius.
Same petrol & electric motor, same planetary CVT trans, same battery and motor controller.

Yes you are wrong.

Mazda did most of the engineering work on both vehicles. They share a Mazda-designed platform and Mazda-modified Ford 4-cylinder and V6 engines.
