Suspension height nor the active air intake flaps closing in Range mode will make little or no difference in the real world.Because in Range mode the suspension setting is default at the lowest setting meaning there are aerodynamic advantages.
If in Normal mode you overide the standard suspension setting and manually drop to the lowest then it’s probably the same. I can’t think of anything else unless decoupling and recoupling(?) the rear motor only instead of both is a micro mechanical advantage(?!)
Comparison here includes motorway driving at a constant speed and so the car will lower regardless with Range mode dropping a few more mm.
Switching AC to Eco will in principle extend range estimate. So either drive mode should have AC set to the same setting given the profound impact AC has in general on consumption.
Again, post uPdate, setting a destination in NAV and then switching between Normal and Range often leads to the same SOC estimate at journey's end.
