The 2006 Chevrolet HHR is a mid-size, sporty-looking hatchback vehicle in the same family as its competitors, the Pontiac Vibe and Chrysler PT Cruiser. If you're in the market to purchase this type of vehicle, the specifications on the 2006 HHR rival those of others in its class, but a test drive will ultimately help you decide if this car is right for your needs.
Trim Levels and Engine Components
The 2006 Chevrolet HHR came in two trim levels, the LS and the more expensive LT model. Both models are equipped with a 2.2-liter, four-cylinder and 143 horsepower engine. The LT offers an optional upgrade to a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine with 172 horsepower. The four-cylinder engine is good on gas, getting 23 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway, with a fuel capacity of 16 gallons, according to Cars Direct, a car resource and research website.
Steering and Suspension Components
The 2006 Chevrolet HHR includes standard struts and front spring coils as well as a front anti-roll beam, which helps avoid a flip-over if the driver loses control. Disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering are standard on both models as well. The LS model includes 16-inch steel wheels, while the LT includes 16-inch machined-alloy wheels (a wheel type without hubcaps). This is one of a few reasons why the LT model costs slightly more than the LS.
Seating and Interior Design
Bucket seats are standard on the HHR with a dealer upgrade to heated seats and power seats available. The hatchback design of the 2006 Chevrolet HHR is ideal for large cargo loads and the rear seats fold down to fit even more inside the trunk. Upholstery differed between a standard cloth interior or the upgraded leather package. Leather seats rarely stain but often crack and stretch out when they become too worn, while cloth seats can tear and stain. As in most Chevrolet vehicles built within the past few years, the OnStar service is available on the 2006 Chevrolet HHR. Radios are satellite-radio eligible and the LT model includes radio controls on the steering wheel. Power locks and windows and speed-sensitive wipers are standard on each model.
Safety Features
Anti-lock brakes, daytime running lights, driver and passenger airbags, side-impact bars and security systems are standard on the LS and LT models. First- and second-row overhead airbags on the HHR give added protection in the event of a crash.
Exterior and Interior Dimensions
The car is 176.2 inches long, 69.1 inches wide and 63.1 inches high. Front and rear legroom hovers around 40 inches. Headroom is 39 inches in the front and rear. Interior cargo space with the seats folded down is 55.6 cubic feet.
