Continental Tyres has officially launched the UltraContact UX7, a next-generation tyre crafted exclusively for the evolving needs of urban SUV drivers. With SUV ownership on the rise across the Asia-Pacific region, Continental is positioning itself at the forefront of innovation, delivering a product that blends performance, safety, and comfort tailored to the modern SUV lifestyle.
“The SUV market has seen exponential growth in recent years, and we anticipate this trend will continue across the region,” said Dalibor Kalina, Head of Business Area Replacement Tyres APAC. “Continental Tyres is perfectly positioned to expand our consumer base with the UltraContact UX7 – not only is it optimized for SUV vehicles but also meets the demands of drivers for both urban commutes and casual off-road trips.”
SUVs differ from traditional passenger vehicles with their heavier frames and higher centers of gravity, requiring tyres built for enhanced stability and durability. The UltraContact UX7 answers that call with its SUV Confidence+ Technology, delivering a trifecta of benefits—safety, durability, and acoustic comfort.
Designed with spontaneity and boldness in mind, the UX7 ensures optimal control even at higher speeds. Its X-Force Macroblocks create a broader contact patch for enhanced grip and handling, while the Adaptive Diamond Compound, infused with silica, improves braking distances across both wet and dry surfaces. Additionally, the Aqua Channel system quickly expels water from the tyre’s surface, reducing the risk of hydroplaning and improving wet-weather traction.
Urban roads may be the norm, but weekend getaways call for resilience. With Robust360 Construction, the UX7 is reinforced with a high-strength steel belt and an upgraded carcass design to withstand shocks and resist damage. The Diamond Compound’s polymer chains interlock to enhance wear resistance, enabling the tyre to endure city conditions and occasional countryside excursions alike.
As electric vehicles become increasingly mainstream, the demand for low-noise tyres has grown. The UltraContact UX7 meets this need with its precision-cut tread and Noisebreaker 3.0 technology, which dissipates sound waves before they reach the cabin, creating a quieter, more relaxing drive.
Available from Q2 2025, the UltraContact UX7 comes in a wide array of sizes, ranging from 15” to 22”, making it suitable for crossovers, mid-sized, and premium SUVs. Consumers can purchase the tyres through Continental’s branded retail outlets or online via Shopee, TnG, or Lazada.
With the UltraContact UX7, Continental Tyres isn’t just launching a new product—it’s redefining what SUV tyres can be, marrying technical precision with everyday practicality to help drivers “Chase the Extraordinary.”
