Geneva Preview: Chevrolet considering bringing the HHR to Europe

Can this be true? Will Europeans finally get a chance to taste a true-blue, all American Chevrolet family car instead of those “bastardly” rebadged Daewoo’s…? Ok, I’m exaggerating now.

PRESS RELEASE: CHEVROLET PRESENTS EXCITING HHR IN GENEVA

• Chevrolet HHR Brings Fun and Functionality to the Compact Segment
• Unique styling with functional interior
• Fun to drive and spacious

Chevrolet Europe is considering bringing the HHR to Europe and will unveil the exciting compact model at Geneva motor show on March 6. The HHR is a unique vehicle that combines styling and interior adaptability to create a vehicle suited to all lifestyles and it has a distinct design that was inspired by the 1949 Chevrolet Suburban – the original utility vehicle.

HHR is a four-door vehicle with a rear touch-pad liftgate. Its high roof evokes the look of the innovative 1949 Chevy Suburban.The HHR is easily recognizable with its large, square fender flares and a hemispherical grille. The jeweled lighting effects, as well as a flared, twin-taillamp design in the rear that create a look that is half street machine and half vintage Corvette. Stamped door and window appearances with a one-piece wraparound molding contribute to the clean, detailed design and are uncommon in contemporary vehicles. The HHR’s rear window is flush with the body side.

The HHR has a choice of two technologically sophisticated inline four-cylinder engines, which balances usable power with fuel and emissions efficiency: the 2.2L engine with 149hp and torque of 210 Nm and the 2.4L unit with 175 hp and torque of 228 Nm.
