Introduced in 2006, the Chevrolet HHR fills an interesting niche in the blue bowtie line up. With highway gas mileage ratings that dance with the 30 miles per gallon (MPG) mark, the retro-styled compact HHR plays the econo-hauler card, in both five-door and panel delivery trim. While classified as a SUV, the HHR is currently only available with front wheel drive.
The performance-oriented HHR SS (pictured above) doesn’t just haul stuff … it just flat out hauls, with a 2.0 liter turbocharged inline four that produces a formidable 260 horsepower. That’s a hefty jump over the 2.2 and 2.4 liter non-turbo four-bangers that produce 149 and 175 horsepower, respectively.

Note: the EPA tweaked their testing procedure, starting with the 2008 model year, with the end result being that the 2008 MPG estimates are now lower than previous years. As always, YMMV.

[…] Connect is more likely to find competition from the retro-styled Chevy HHR Panel, at 176.2 inches in length and 62.5 inches in height. Or perhaps for those hipster business that […]
30.8 from Sacramento, CA to Sparks, Nevada.
55-85 MPG, handled great, not tiring to drive.
For mountain driving to get that mileage is
unexpected.
