Chevrolet HHR 2010 Specification

The 2010 Chevrolet HHR is a compact retro-styled vehicle that blends functionality with a unique design. Under the hood, it offers two engine options: a 2.2-liter Ecotec inline-four engine that produces 155 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque, and a more powerful 2.4-liter Ecotec inline-four engine delivering 172 horsepower and 167 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are mated to either a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic transmission, providing flexible driving dynamics.

The exterior design is inspired by the 1949 Chevrolet Suburban, featuring a high roofline, rounded fenders, and retro-styled grille. The vehicle stands on 16-inch steel wheels, with optional 17-inch chrome-clad wheels available for an enhanced aesthetic appeal. Inside, the HHR offers a spacious cabin with seating for up to five passengers and a versatile cargo area that can expand to 63.1 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down.

Standard features include air conditioning, power windows and locks, cruise control, and an AM/FM stereo with CD player and auxiliary input. Higher trims and optional packages add amenities such as leather upholstery, heated front seats, a sunroof, and a premium Pioneer sound system. Safety is addressed with standard equipment like anti-lock brakes, stability control, front-seat side airbags, and full-length curtain airbags.

Fuel efficiency is notable, with the 2.2-liter engine achieving an EPA-estimated 22 mpg city and 30 mpg highway, while the 2.4-liter engine comes in slightly lower at 21 mpg city and 29 mpg highway. The 2010 Chevrolet HHR combines retro styling with modern utility, making it a practical choice for those seeking a distinctive and functional compact vehicle.
