Wheel and tire choices range from 16- to 18-inches, leather upholstery is optional and OnStar Gen6 is standard.
Chevrolet HHR 2006
Chevrolet chose to introduce the HHR at the 2005 Greater Los Angeles Auto Show because L.A. is the spiritual home of the custom car. With styling that pays homage to the original utility vehicle - the 1949 Chevy Suburban - the 5-passenger HHR is built on the same platform as the new Chevy Cobalt and will be available in the second half of 2005. Engine options include a 2.2-liter, 140 horsepower 4-cylinder and 2.4-liter, 170 horsepower 4-cylinder.
