The data you link from NASA does actually show modest acceleration from 1992 to present (~ 0.048 mm / yr ^ 2), but it is not clear if that acceleration is due entirely or partially to sea level changes not driven by thermal expansion and melting of land supported ice. (judithcurry.com)
The engine and the CVT are less noisy than they were before, though the engine still produces a desperate - sounding buzz even under modest acceleration; the 1.2 - liter can be persuaded to get angry, like a Pomeranian, by activating the Sport mode. (autoweek.com)
