As Malaysian motorists become more conscious of fuel efficiency, sustainability, and overall driving comfort, the demand for next-generation tyres continues to grow. Meeting this shift head-on, Continental, the renowned German tyre manufacturer, has introduced its latest eco-friendly offerings to the Malaysian market: the EcoContact 6 and EcoContact 6Q.
These new-generation tyres are crafted to complement the evolving mobility needs of petrol, hybrid, and electric vehicle drivers. Whether navigating busy city streets, cruising highways, or embarking on long-distance drives, the EcoContact range promises to deliver exceptional comfort, reduced fuel consumption, and increased safety—without compromising on performance.
The EcoContact 6 stands out with a specially developed high-tech silica compound that optimises rolling resistance, reducing fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. Its asymmetric rib design and advanced sipe geometry ensure superior grip and road stability in both wet and dry conditions—ideal for Malaysia’s diverse weather.
Building upon these core benefits, the EcoContact 6Q introduces enhanced noise reduction technology. This variant features a custom tread pattern and the Advanced Green Chili 2.0 compound, which adapts intelligently to road conditions to improve fuel economy and ride smoothness. The asymmetric rib structure helps maintain constant road contact, which is especially useful during lane changes or emergency manoeuvres.
One of the highlights of the new tyre line is ContiSilent™, Continental’s innovative polyurethane foam absorber. Integrated into both the EcoContact 6 and 6Q, this feature reduces cabin noise by up to 9 decibels, offering a much quieter and more relaxing drive across different terrains.
“As a brand committed to tyre innovation, we are proud to bring Malaysian drivers a more refined driving experience,” said Andrea Somorova, Managing Director of Continental Tyre Malaysia. “The EcoContact 6 and 6Q are more than just tyres—they’re engineered solutions for comfort, safety, and fuel efficiency.”
Continental’s EcoContact range isn’t just for the aftermarket; it’s factory-fitted by top global automotive brands such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Thanks to their ultra-low rolling resistance and range-extending capabilities, these tyres are a preferred choice for many electric and hybrid vehicles.
The EcoContact 6 is tailored for those prioritising durability and longevity, while the EcoContact 6Q is geared toward drivers who value comfort and reduced noise levels. With sizes ranging from 15” to 21”, the tyres are designed to suit a wide array of vehicles on Malaysian roads.
Malaysian drivers can now purchase the EcoContact 6 and EcoContact 6Q at authorised Continental dealers nationwide, as well as on popular e-commerce platforms like Shopee, Lazada, and TNG eWallet stores.
