Default I30 Automatic gearbox question

Hi guys,
I want to buy a hyundai i30 1.6 gdi 135 hp.
I drive tested it( her sorry) last week and was great.I drove the manual version.

Today i went to a drive test with an automatic golf (first time with an automatic) and i seriously consider in buying the automatic i30.

My question: After you stop you can raise your foot from the brake paddle and the car wont move. I dont know whats the name of the feature.

Does i30 have this thing? Does all automatic car have this kind of autobrake? Thanks for your help

P.S.: How do you like the automatic i30? I am 80% sure for the automatic.

In the US, that feature is sometimes called "hill assist" and it's generally just on manual transmission equipped cars to prevent the car from rolling back on a hell when you transistion from the brake to the throttle. It's not needed on an automatic transmission equipped car.

In an automatic, if you take your foot off the brake, the car will creep forward on level ground or downhill.
