Better informed members will chime in but I think that was a feature started in '16. I know my '16 3lz has it..

It does not have it. My 15 3lz has no auto pull down when you bring it down. In fact you need to have a door open to close it without slamming it since the air inside the car makes it almost impossible to close it otherwise.

I think that was more apparent in the C5's.

I had a C6 that i didn't need to have a door open, to close the rear hatch.

On my C7Z, which does have the auto pull down, is annoying at times. Such as in colder temps since i don't have a garage. So when i go take it out on a sunny day, but 20 degrees lol, i will use a jump pack to get to the battery in the back. Sometimes the hatch gets frozen so when i use the button on the key fob to open it, it will release but it won't "POP" up. WHich means it'll close itself down right away. So i have to catch it with my finger when it opens, because it's too cold for it to pop.

If my car didn't have the auto close, it would open, and leave the gap, so i can use my finger to pull it up. The auto close on these cars i don't think it's necessary. But mine came with the car so oh well.

No, but I wish it did for the tiny weight savings. I came to this car from the '06 Z that didn't have it either, so it's not "new", but I still find it annoying. What are you saving? Skip a meal.
