The Chevrolet HHR receives several substantial updates for 2009. Both the 2.2L and 2.4L Ecotec engines are now FlexFuel E85 compatible, which means they'll take gasoline or an 85% ethanol/gas blend. Also, like the 2.4, the 2.2 is now equipped with variable valve timing (VVT), which improves engine performance and efficiency. The 2.2L engine's horsepower output increases from 149 hp to 155 hp, while highway mileage rating increases from 30 mpg to a claimed 32 mpg. The HHR Panel is now available in SS trim, powered by the turbocharged 2.0L Ecotec 4-cylinder. New standard equipment on all HHRs includes XM satellite radio, an AM/FM/CD stereo with MP3 playback, StabiliTrak electronic stability control and traction control. LS and LT models get standard antilock brakes. Dual-stage driver and front passenger air bags with infant-only suppression are standard on LS and LT models, and Bluetooth handsfree interface is available. New colors include Silver Ice Metallic, Gold Mist Metallic, and Aqua Blue Metallic, while Sandstone Metallic, Sunburst Orange II Metallic, and Silverstone Metallic have been dropped.

For 2007, Chevrolet has introduced a "panel" version of the HHR. This trim deletes the side windows, rear side doors, and the rear seats to provide 55.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the driver and front passenger. GM hopes the Panel HHR will appeal to urban-based companies looking for a small, efficient delivery vehicle. The rest of the model line-up remains the same as 2006. two new colors, Imperial Blue Metallic and Golden Teal Metallic, are now available. Both engines reported slightly higher horsepower and torque outputs.
SelectBrowse ListingsIntroduced for the 2006 model year, the Chevrolet HHR was a strikingly distinct example of retro styling and utility. Borrowing inspiration from vehicles of the 1949 Suburban, the HHR follows the Chevrolet SSR that fused sports car with compact pickup truck. A less provocative vehicle presentation than the SSR, the Chevrolet HHR found a following as a small family vehicle as well as a commercial vehicle. Officially classified as a truck, the vehicle shared many mechanical details with the Chevrolet Cobalt compact car. Offered in LS and LT trim levels, the 2006 Chevrolet HHR came with standard six-speaker stereo, air conditioning, power windows and remote keyless entry.
The LT model added features such as eight-way power driver seat and 16-inch aluminum wheels. Featuring a five-passenger interior, the space can accommodate up to 63. 1 cubic feet of cargo when the rear seat would be folded down. Two Ecotec engines were available for the 2006 model year HHR with a 2.2-liter and a 2.4-liter choice offered. Throughout its run, the Chevrolet HHR was available only as a front-wheel drive vehicle. For 2008, a panel van style version of the Chevrolet HHR became available as a way to attract commercial vehicle buyers. On all 2008 HHR models, OnStar and StabiliTrak electronic stability control is added standard. Big additions for the Chevrolet compact utility vehicle also came in 2009 when an SS model was introduced.
Powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter direct-injected generating up to 260 horsepower, the 2009 Chevrolet HHR SS also came equipped with performance touches such as a unique front fascia, rear spoiler and 18-inch forged aluminum wheels. Models powered by naturally aspirated engines received FlexFuel compatibility and standard XM Satellite radio in 2009. When production of the HHR ended in 2011, Chevrolet was left without a compact utility vehicle in the United States until the arrival of the Trax in 2015.
