You are benefiting from the electric auxiliary heating element in the HVAC system, now also included on the G20 petrol models. Engine can still be cold, but warm air is coming into the cabin within a minute or so. Also assists the speed of engine warm up, as there isn't the immediate draw on any heat in the coolant.
