Will the automatic Renault Kadjar hold on a hill with no brake applied?
Is the Renault Kadjar automatic a true automatic? Meaning will the car hold on a hill with no foot brake or hand brake applied or would it be like a 2008 Vauxhall Corsa automatic that l once had where you had to apply the handbrake even on the slightest incline.

It's not torque converter. It's an 'Efficient Dual Clutch' (DSG/Powershift type) and only available with the 1.5-litre DCI 110 and two wheel drive. The same drivetrain is also now available in the Dacia Duster at under £15,000 new. The electric parking brake on the Kadjar is a bit irritating because though it has a brake hold function on hills, you have to apply it as if parking. It doesn't have a separate brake hold switch that automatically holds the car, as on a Honda H-RV.
