With so many variables in driving style, preferences etc, one will never know. On paper the heat pump is more efficient at heating the cabin, and I think the batteries from the description of the system in the link than a resistive heating system alone in models with standard AC.
Is the heat pump reversible?

With my car with heat pump, pre-heating the car in winter for 20 minutes having charged the car to 80% and still plugged into granny charger, the car still had 80% charge. So granny charger (2kW) was able to supply power needs of heat pump only 1.5kW. Whereas with a loan 1st Edition no heat pump, similar pre-heat only had 75% left, so heat pump certainly requires less power.
Benefit on air conditioning / cooling may be less, as non-heat pump air conditioning unit is basically the same as a heat pump just only able to cool, so only benefit would be higher efficiency of heat pump.
