I have the top grill portion fully covered as best as I can. What I have been logging for highway/city driving is that even with the top grill covered, once below -27C, the coolant will not get to its normal setpoint temperature.
Still amazed how easy the car starts and warms up.

-10 F (-23 C) on the drive to work this am. With top/bottom covered it didn't get up to temp either. I'm glad it has the electric heater.
One interesting thing I've noted on multiple trips this winter is if the outside temp is below 7-8F, the EGR utilization goes to 0. Did this for 4 hours of driving on Christmas day (temps ranged from -4 to +2 F), even though the coolant was up to temp most of the time. Also, when in this mode the car reads a few psi of boost under light loads which is different than when warmer. Just found that interesting . . .
