Default Engine warm-up seems slow

Is it normal for a crossfire engine to take more time to reach normal operating temperature?
My xfire takes 2-3 times the time/distance to reach normal temperature compared to other vehicles.
There are no error codes and I would expect to get a low coolant error is the t-stat was stuck open, so mybe this is normal.
Car is stock, no modiciations.
Thanks!

I had a similar issue 10 years and replaced the thermostat. No guarantee that is your problem but worked for me.

use an obd2 scan tool/reader to watch the live coolant temperature
