2011 Chevrolet HHR Compact Wagons

Chevrolet HHR

The 2011 Chevrolet HHR Compact Wagons. Not all reviewers are impressed with the HHR old-school looks – some are even starting to say the HHR looks dated. But, the HHR exterior does come in handy. Despite the looks, the HHR is an affordable compact wagon, a that label is reflected in the car’s driving dynamics and fuel economy. If you’d like a small utilitarian vehicle for your business, the "Chevrolet HHR" is also available as a panel van. The Elantra Touring also offers more cargo space than the HHR Panel: 65.3 cubic feet with the rear seats folded.

However, the Elantra Touring doesn’t have the HHR quirky retro exterior. While the Transit Connect can’t match the HHR Panel’s fuel economy (the EPA estimates the Transit Connect will achieve 26 mpg highway), the van is able to hold over twice the HHR Panel’s cargo capacity. The Transit Connect van costs about $2,000 more than the HHR panel.

Consider it the coolest iteration of the "Chevrolet HHR" compact-class wagon.
Engineers at GM's Performance Division developed the HHR SS by adding those wild-style body add-ons, then installing a performance-tuned sport suspension system, 18-inch high-polished aluminum wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport tires, plus a turbo-charged and inter-cooled four-cylinder engine tied to a quick five-speed manual gearbox produced by GM Powertrain Sweden.

All of the dynamic mechanical systems; suspension, steering, brakes, were revised to complement the SS's turbo-charged muscle. In front, there are twin-tube struts, coil springs with specific damper tuning, stiffer bushings and 23-mm solid stabilizer bar. The HHR SS also gets upgraded brakes with vented front rotors and single-piston calipers plus solid discs at the rear. Under the hood of the engine for the HHR SS is a 2.0-liter Ecotec DI (direct injection) four-pack fitted with the turbo-charger and air-to-air interfolding system. Fuel economy for this engine is rated the highest at 22-mpg city and 32-mpg highway. That engine makes 172-hp at 5800 rpm with torque rising to 167 ft-lbs at 4500 rpm. HHR 2LT goes further with the 2.4-liter engine, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, 260-watt Pioneer sound system, sporty FE3 suspension tuning with StabiliTrak plus 17-inch aluminum wheels and chrome exterior trim elements.
