I’m picking up a 2016 colour edition (manual) today and I can’t for the life of me find out beforehand.

 

 Cheers!

Not sure - I doubt it though. I have a feeling it was on facelift models....

My daughters Colour edition doesnt have it.

To test it, it a takes hill steep enough for the car to roll and a few secs of your time.

I doubt it's a deal breaker for a 2016 car!

Gave it a go yesterday, I can confirm that it does have it and it’s brilliant! 

Yes - it's very good. Even in the hilly bits of Cornwall I hardly ever need to use the handbrake.

 

It must be model-specific, rather than model-year-based then....

 

I have just checked my daughters car to find that it does have it. 

 

Colour me impressed

Now to see if it has the under 19mph radar anti collision feature! 😅

Unlikely for that year?

I have generally found that looking through the windscreen, and proceeding at an appropriate speed has served me well over the last 750K miles

Haha yeah I’ll continue with that approach!

My 2016 Colours model has hill start assist (HSA). 

 

It can be a nuisance e.g. if you're wanting to reverse downhill without using the gears, say from a parking spot. 

 

Or if you're nosing out into traffic and want to roll backwards if the traffic is busy.

 

I've got to be honest, first time I noticed the HSA thought the park brake was sticking on...

It's only on for 2secs though....

I live in a hilly place and really like the feature!
