Are there any moderately/low priced 2024/25 new vehicles without the auto start/stop "feature"?

The 2024 Corolla is the only one that comes to mind. Sure that will change in 2025.

The real question is whether the auto start/stop feature can be defeated. If it can be turned off every time you start the engine it’s not a big deal. Some models don’t allow this.

I have one installed specific to my '21 Audi SQ5 Sportback - works flawlessly for $26 and about 15 minutes of installation time.

Some even allow you to switch it off once and for all.

Being able to turn it off doesn’t negate the fact a significant amount of $ was baked into installing this ridiculously “feature” that most will turn off if they’re able to do so.

Ours was disabled permanently by disconnecting one wire. So as others have mentioned, disabling the "feature" is a valid alternative.

I dont think Mazda's CX5 trims have it anymore. I know they removed it from my 2024.

Our 2024 Mazda CX50 doesn't have it either.

Just my luck. Mazdas don't have it, but they added AWD to most.

Don't need that in the deep south.
