2010 Chevy HHR

Body Styles, Trim Levels and Options

The 2010 Chevrolet HHR, available at your Glenwood Springs Chevy dealer, comes in two different body styles: a traditional four-door, five-passenger wagon and a two-seat Panel van. The Panel van has windowless rear cargo panel doors, windowless rear quarter panels, cargo floor storage compartments and a rear 40-amp power point for electronic equipment.

The wagon is available in three trim levels — LS, LT and SS — while the Panel van is available in LS and LT trims. The LS base model includes 16-inch steel wheels, cruise control, keyless entry, a fold-flat front passenger seat, a 60/40-split-folding rear seat, full power accessories, OnStar and a six-speaker CD/MP3 stereo with satellite radio and an auxiliary audio jack.

The wagon-only SS model gains a powerful turbocharged engine, an exclusive sport-tuned suspension, 18-inch alloy wheels, unique exterior styling details and two-tone front sport seats and interior trim.

Entry-level LS models offer running boards, a rooftop luggage rack and a rear spoiler. The 1LT features a more extensive list of add-ons: leather upholstery, heated front seats, Bluetooth and a USB port -most of them standard on the 2LT. The Pioneer stereo is optional on both the 1LT and SS. Additionally, the SS can be fitted with an optional Performance Package that includes a limited-slip differential and Brembo front disc brakes.

Powertrains and Performance

There are three different engines for buyers to choose from: entry-level LS and mid range 1LT models get a 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine that puts out 155 hp and 150 pound-feet of torque. A 2.4-liter four-cylinder good for 172 hp and 167 lb-ft of torque is standard on the 2LT and available as an option on the 1LT.

Both engines come mated to your choice of a standard five-speed manual transmission or an optional four-speed automatic.

Under the hood of the sportier SS version is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that cranks out a healthy 260 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque when paired with the standard five-speed manual gearbox.

Safety

Standard safety equipment for the 2010 Chevy HHR includes anti-lock front disc/rear drum brakes on LS and LT models and anti-lock four-wheel discs on the SS. Stability control and side curtain airbags are also standard. GM’s OnStar telematic system is also standard across the HHR model lineup.

Interior Design and Special Features

The 2010 Chevrolet HHR was also highly ranked for its attractive and unusually quiet passenger cabin. Both front and rear-seat passengers have ample head- and legroom. The standard cloth seats are very comfortable, though leather seats are available for those who prefer it. Folding down the front passenger seat and 60/40-split rear seat backs creates an ample 63 cubic feet of cargo room and a flat load surface. The gauges are easy to see, and the stereo and climate controls are intuitive.
