It's a 2017 with a turbo. Essentially, mods are going to be worthless - expensive - or cause computer issues . Concentrate on driving technique.

Many of the mods in the master list don't apply to brand new turbo cars.

Start with an SGII.

All new cars come with fairly low resistance tyres, not much to be gained there.
Light weight alloy wheels don't really work because they're always terrible aerodynamically (unless you're prepared to hide them under smooth covers).
You should already have a smart alternator so not much to gain from a delete- plus could cause computer issues.
I'd guessing you have EPAS so again little to be had if you removed that.
You don't do a WAI on a turbo, you could maybe consider blanking part of the intercooler, that would raise the intake temp, but frankly I'd be wary of that.

I would however look into fitting the auto grill flaps from the Eco Cruize.

In short if you want to hypermile, buy a new car, if you want to Ecomod, buy something really old.
