According to my research, the 2011 Chevrolet HHR came with either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission and they are both flat-towable as is. However, you will be limited to a maximum of 65 mph while in tow. In order to tow the vehicle with all four wheels down you will need a few components which I have listed for you below:
Tow Bar - Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar part # RM-520
Base Plate Kit - Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit part # 3141-1
Safety Cables - RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables part # RM-643
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit part # RM-15267
Supplemental Braking System - Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR
Fuse Bypass - Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass part # RM76511
