Sell My Chevrolet HHR (Chevrolet Reviews and Articles)

Long before the introduction of what came to be known as the automotive 'station wagon' in the 1950's, there were wagon style vehicles. At the 2005 National Auto Show in Los Angeles, Chevrolet unveiled their version of the new, but reminiscent style wagon vehicle which they called the Chevrolet HHR. HHR is an acronym for Heritage High Roof and the overall design of the vehicle was based upon the 1949 Chevrolet Suburban. As the acronym indicates, there is plenty of head room in the HHR, as well as driver and passenger leg room. In addition to the rear cargo area, folding rear seats and a folding passenger seat provide plenty of room for a multitude of larger items. The new Chevrolet HHR is visually similar to the Pontiac PT Cruiser-which is really not so surprising since the lead designer of the PT Cruiser was also instrumental in the design of the Chevy HHR. An affordable sticker price and the classic styling of the Chevrolet HHR quickly appealed to those who were seeking a low cost vehicle that would provide decent gas mileage, a roomy cabin and characteristically classic style vehicle.

Safety seems to be at the forefront of the minds of everyone at Chevrolet, and the HHR benefits from this train of thought with standard front and rear anti roll bars, front impact airbags, occupancy sensors, side impact bars. An OnStar navigation system is also part of the safety and security equipment available.

As of the 2007 model year, the Chevrolet HHR had not changed very much since the introduction of the HHR. The major industry and user objections to the Chevy HHR pertained to the fact that it was actually built on a smaller car frame, yet due to the height and weight of the HHR and the amount of cargo that can be feasibly transported, engine power was less than optimal.

For the 2008 model year, Chevrolet has tried to resolve the issues brought to their attention by introducing the Chevy HHR SS with a 260-horsepower turbocharged engine.
