Does the automatic MINI have no stop-start?

My 2013 MINI Ccooper S Clubman does not have auto engine stop; is this because it is automatic or was it an option when new?

Hi Alan,

We checked with the good folk at MINI HQ about this, and the response is that “At the time, the automatic start-stop function was not available with the optional automatic six-speed gearbox.”
