Do modern (2016+) newer cars automatically increase rpm when pulling away?

I was driving a friend's Peugeot 308 diesel and noticed as I was releasing the clutch the revs would increase slightly on their own. I naturally set the RPM to 1100-1200rpm when setting off in my car but found in his car I would end up revving up a bit too much because the car was already doing it! On a steep hill in traffic you could crawl forward just on the clutch without touching the accelerator. In my car it would stall instantly 😂
