I have been renting a lot of cars lately. The hybrids do the best job because hybrid. The gas cars can be hit or miss. A jeep renegade I rented did ok except that sometimes it would auto stop, sometimes it wouldn’t. You had to be stopped and the. Push the brake a little harder to engage.
I have a Volvo and if you stop at a pace other than very gentle, it will shut off the engine before you’ve stopped moving. That one is annoying.
Got a newer Volvo as a loaner and the baby hybrid system in them is FAR better. You can’t even really hear it start up. I believe it doesn’t have a traditional starter, you hear almost nothing when you start it for the first time. It just kind of goes from being off to running without any sound or vibration. Very weird but kinda cool.
Each system is a little different, some are not very good, others you don’t even notice.
My Toyota hybrid stop start is so seamless, I would not know I was on gas or electric power. It doesn’t even use a starter. Also, the entire car doesn’t have a single belt.
Two things: firstly, 48v integrated starter generator vs 12v starter. Secondly, newer cars I believe memorize where in the cam rotation they shut off so they can ignite almost immediately if the conditions are right.
The starter in the mHEVs is about as powerful as the entire engine of the original Fiat 500. It entirely skips the *r-r-r-*revup of a normal engine start.
I have that hybrid volvo and it’s amazing, I never even think about it. It just works. If someone wants to test drive, it’s an automatic xc40 with b4 engine.

You must’ve gotten a good one.
