For 2010, the Chevrolet HHR receives curtain airbags on all its models, while new trim items are added: an upgraded stereo on LT 1SB and SS models, a standard sunroof on the SS, and as a mid-interim addition, a rear vision backup camera will be available.

Sold in LS, 1LT, 2LT and SS trim, the HHR comes as a conventional five-passenger vehicle, called the "Utility", or as the Panel, with solid rear metal panels and a full cargo area instead of a rear seat. A window delete package also allows for the "best of both", with windows for the second row, but with the rear quarter windows deleted for more of a custom car look.

Both the LS and 1LT use a 2.2-litre four-cylinder engine; the 1LT can be optioned with a 2.4-litre four-cylinder that's the only choice on the 2LT. Both engines use a five-speed manual transmission or optional four-speed automatic. The SS models use a turbocharged and intercooled 2.0-litre four-cylinder with five-speed manual or four-speed automatic.

Features on the LS models include 16-inch steel wheels, air conditioning, power mirrors, running boards, variable intermittent wipers, fixed intermittent rear wiper, cruise control, floor mats, driver information centre, tilt wheel, power windows with driver's side express-down, cloth bucket seats, fold-flat front passenger seat, CD stereo with auxiliary input, theft alarm, and power locks with keyless entry. Regular models include a 60/40 split-folding rear seat, while the Panel includes a full-length rubber floor covering and locking under-floor storage bins.

The LT adds 16-inch painted steel wheels, eight-way power driver's seat, and CD/MP3 stereo with auxiliary input.

The SS adds 18-inch alloy wheels, SS-specific fascias, fog lights, rear spoiler, turbo boost gauge, tire pressure monitoring system, auto-dimming rearview mirror, leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, premium cloth seats with bolsters and UltraLux seat inserts, Bluetooth hands-free connectivity, XM satellite radio, four-wheel disc brakes, bright finish exhaust tip, performance suspension, and OnStar.
