2.2L ECOTEC Engine

---

All LS, and 1LT models are powered by a standard 2.2L DOHC ECOTEC engine that puts out 149 hp at 5600 rpm and 152 lb.-ft. of torque at 4200 rpm. This engine also delivers excellent fuel economy — an EPA estimated MPG city of 21 in HHR models and 20 in HHR Panel models, and 30 MPG highway in both models with the standard manual transmission. With the available automatic transmission, this engine produces an EPA estimated MPG 22 city, 30 highway in HHR and HHR Panel. Both transmissions give you a highway driving range of up to 480 miles.

The low-maintenance engine features an aluminum block and cylinder head with a lightweight composite intake manifold and Electronic Throttle Control. It also uses long-life coolant, designed to last for five years or 150,000 miles, and long-life spark plugs, designed to last for 100,000 miles.

Maintenance needs vary with different uses and driving conditions. See the Owner's Manual for more information.
