I have a new Cupra Terramara with 1.200 kl and the start and stop system may work 3-4 times in the morning the then shutss off until next morning. is that normal. I do highway trips twice a week.
 
Stop/Start is conditional on the battery having a good state of charge as the starter motor is quite energy hungry - if the battery is depleted then Stop/Start doesn't work.

In addition to battery state of charge, there are a number of other factors that can influence the operation of stop / start. @Phoebus - maybe worth checking out your owner’s manual under ‘Start-Stop system’ which provides a comprehensive list of those factors.
