Both statements are correct. Lower gears indeed provide more torque and lower speeds, which is useful for situations requiring more power, such as climbing hills. Higher gears, on the other hand, provide less torque but allow the vehicle to achieve higher speeds, which is efficient for cruising at steady speeds on flat surfaces.
