The 2008 Chevrolet HHR is an honorable nod to the expressive designs of classic 1940s Chevrolets, characterized by its retro styling cues and high roofline. It comes in a standard front-wheel-drive with two available trims: LS and LT, where LS is the base level and LT is the more feature-packed variant. HHR offers two engine options: a standard 2.2L that serves 149 horsepower and an optional 2.4L that bumps output to 175 horsepower, both mated to a standard five-speed manual or an optional four-speed automatic transmission. Notable features include an easily configurable interior allowing for maximum cargo-hauling flexibility, OnStar system, and an acceptable list of standard safety features, including front-seat side airbags. Being an economy crossover vehicle, the HHR offers a smooth, comfortable ride.
