All European cars since 1998 will have both, because immobilizers are required by law in most of Western Europe.
On most cars, you'll never notice the immobilizer as it's RFID based, passive, and requires no batteries. The only way you'd find it is if you take apart the key fob or have to service the ignition lock, at which point you'll find the RFID antenna ring around it, or if you try to get the key replaced.
