It is my understanding that they do! I have not checked directly, but I do see the engine warm up phase on my 2.0i is very fast even in the cold weather.
When I look back years ago in the 1960s, we used to take the fan blades of some cars and in many cases in the winter, we even blanked off parts of the radiator with cardboard to get the engines to warm up.
