2011 Chevrolet HHR: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The most important change for 2011 is a smaller trim lineup: Chevrolet dropped the SS Sport and LT Panel Sport. Otherwise, the HHR carried over without a redesign or meaningful updates to its powertrain, styling, safety hardware, structure, or cabin tech.
About the 2011 Chevrolet HHR
First and only generation (2006-2011), final model year.
Chevrolet positioned the HHR as a small high-roof wagon built around useful cargo space, easy entry, and distinctive old-school styling. The pitch was less about sporty driving and more about flexibility: fold-flat seating, lots of storage space, and better highway mileage than other boxy small haulers of the time. The Panel version widened that mission to light commercial use, giving the HHR a dual role as either an everyday people-and-gear mover or a small business cargo vehicle.
The 2011 lineup consists of the straightforward LS passenger wagon, the more comfortable LT passenger wagon, and the work-focused two-seat LS Panel. Passenger models emphasize flexible folding seats, while the LT adds a power driver’s seat and keyless entry. The LS Panel has steel rear side panels, side cargo doors, lockable underfloor storage, and an adjustable cargo shelf.
