The Chevrolet Cruze Eco is powered by a 138bhp 1.4-litre four-cylinder engine with 148lb ft of torque. The motor is linked to a six-speed manual gearbox, and the car averages 48mpg on the motorway.

The Eco also gets tweaks such as grille shutters that close at speed to reduce drag, and underbody panels.

The RS package adds fog-lights, a rear spoiler, chrome detailing on the interior and a backlit instrument panel.
