I just bought a used Nov 2016 Inscription. I has assumed that Precoonditioning and Parking Climate would be standard but the dealer is telling me it is not. Is that right? I have spoken to owners of newer models and it seems to be standard on their late 2017 models.
The features that you described are only for hybrids, non hybrid models have the remote start via smartphone app, but it is not called preconditioning - although it does nice job warming the car in the wintertime and cooling it in the summer
