Chevrolet HHR
2006-09 models
FRONTAL OFFSET TEST

OVERALL EVALUATION: Good
Structure/safety cage Injury measures Restraints/dummy kinematics
Head/neck Chest Leg/foot, left Leg/foot, right
Good Good Good Good Acceptable Good

Important: Frontal crash test ratings can be compared only among vehicles of similar weight.
Test details:

The Chevrolet HHR was introduced in the 2006 model year.

Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head hit the roof rail and B-pillar.

Injury measures — Measures taken from the head, neck, and chest indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on the right tibia indicate that injuries to the lower leg would be possible. Head accelerations from the roof rail and B-pillar hits were low.

@DarkPrince080 Okay, thanks for telling me.

@cookie1749 because it is not a very good car at all. fairly good looks but unless you are a headless person or under 5'3" tall you will break your neck trying to see traffic lights. the interior is very VERY cheap. and seats are a bit on the firm side. Good notes it does have superb fuel economy. but that isn't enough to have kept it up. and @hehh543 it is discontinued. and i can confirm all this info because I do in fact own one. had my door handle break off as well cheap plastic.

[hehh543]

[cookie1749]

@ashmash100287 You would have likely suffered similar injuries in any other car. My cousin had two broken knees, two broken ribs, and a broken clavicle when she had a low speed frontal impact in her Accord, and two years later she continues to have neck and back pain and movement problems, so consider yourself lucky. Frontal impacts can be very violent, even at low speeds.

I totalled a 2000 Mazda 626 and realized how lucky I was, rented one of these, and fell in love. I'm a mother of 2 and loooove the throw back to the 1949 CHEVY SUBURBAN as well as the kind of room my HHR has.

Wow you people surprise the heck out of me. These accidents you describe are actually very serious accidents... You're all alive aren't you? Did you break any bones? Look at the same test results with, say, a standard passenger sedan. I can GUARANTEE you wouldn't walk away in the same situation. Also, you can't roll an HHR with a frontal impact. That would be a front-side (at an angle) impact, as if you're turning and get "tboned."

@ashmash100287 oh yeah, doing 17mph in the snow
