2006 Chevrolet HHR LS Trim Overview

The LS is the entry-level trim for Chevy's new retro wagon. This trim offers most of the essential comfort and convenience amenities as standard, including full power accessories, air conditioning with cabin filtration, a six-speaker CD audio system, a flat-folding front-passenger seat and cruise control. Satellite radio, OnStar and a sunroof are all available as add-ons.

The LS is powered by a 2.2 liter four-cylinder engine, which produces 143 horsepower and 150 pound-feet of torque. A five-speed manual transmission is standard on all HHRs, while a four-speed automatic is optional. A slightly more powerful engine is available with the upper level trims, but if performance is a higher priority than attractive retro styling, most reviewers suggest looking elsewhere. The HHR's steering and suspension are both better suited for the 'slow and steady wins the race' mindset.
