My 2015 2.7L seems to have used a bit of coolant over the past 95,000km (59k miles). Is it normal for coolant to evaporate? Should I be alarmed? Anything I should have the dealer check out. I only have 5,000km left before powertrain warranty is up so I want to act now if needed. Photo taken is from where it's cold.

The level will go down when it's cold but I would be concerned that it's below the minimum. Awhile back there were some people reporting that there was a leaky coolant fitting near the turbos. It might be worth checking out.
I had the same issue last month on my 3.5L Eco, and it was my water pump.
Crawl underneath and shine a light on the water pump and check. Mine was leaking so slowly that it didn't drip on the floor of my garage, but I did find dried up orange stains on a few locations underneath the engine. Since I didn't see it on my garage floor, I didn't really look into it until I noticed my coolant was just under the minimum level.
Went underneath and doesn't appear to be any leak around the water pump.
I did see quite a bit of what I would consider oil weeping (not a drip) where the cylinder head connects to the block. In my opinion there should never be oil here unless oil is getting by the gasket. Couldn't get a photo as it was very hard to see with my nose an 1" away from the frame.
looks like I got a visit to my dealer real soon.
Further to my quick look I noticed two bolts that hold my transfer case to the mount missing on the drivers side. I can tell their were bolts here by the bolt flange imprint on the mount. The other side the bolts are a hair loose as the flanges isn't flush with the mount.

Got some photos of where the cylinder head connects to the block, seem right? Tried to take them showing the cylinder head (aluminum) on top and not too angled.

I see it isn't down a whole lot on the level.
Technically it shouldn't drop at all in a perfect world.
Is it possibly related to the weeping near the exhaust manifold?
The other pictures look like oil weep to me.
