What RPM is considered "lugging" with these engines?

I've wondered that, too. On the tach, the green "ECON" strip goes all the way down to 1500 RPM, so I figured that's not lugging.
I routinely will drive at 40-45 in 5th gear, feels like coasting, car doesn't seem to struggle when I put my foot down, just slowly gains speed until 2000 RPM, then turbo starts to spool and I'm off....
