The most distinguishing feature of the all-new Chevrolet SSR is an ingenious power-retractable hardtop system that assures an open-air driving experience without compromising the vehicle’s cargo carrying capacity.

A single button on the console transforms the SSR from an enclosed roadster to a convertible in 25 seconds, neatly tucking the roof panels rearward in waterfall fashion between the passenger compartment and pickup bed. The unique vertical storage system is an important enabler for the vehicle’s ability to emulate the utility of a pickup – even with the top down, the SSR’s bed capacity remains unchanged.

Also called a “top stack,” the retractable hardtop on the SSR is the first ever applied on a pickup-styled vehicle. It is the only system of its kind where the roof panels move independently to “stack” vertically behind the passenger compartment – a design that ensures quick operation and minimal stowage requirements. This convertible roadster/pickup features large, flared fenders, a sculpted hood and bold stance. The frame and chassis of the SSR are similar in design to Chevy’s midsize TrailBlazer family of sport utilities. All exterior panels are of stamped steel.
