Kuala Lumpur, 9 July 2025 – For drivers who value fuel savings, comfort, and a quieter ride, Continental has rolled out two exciting options for the Malaysian market: the EcoContact 6 and EcoContact 6Q. These new-generation tyres are designed to keep up with the needs of petrol, hybrid, and electric vehicles—offering an all-round boost in driving experience without compromising efficiency or environmental goals.

In Malaysia, where daily driving is a norm and fuel prices remain a key concern, demand for eco-conscious tyres is growing steadily. To meet this, the German tyre expert Continental has brought in these two innovations that promise reduced rolling resistance, improved mileage, and better grip—whether you’re weaving through city traffic or cruising along the highway.

Engineered for Efficiency and Safety

Engineered for fuel efficiency, the EcoContact 6 comes with a high-tech silica compound that helps lower CO₂ emissions by reducing rolling resistance. Its uniquely tailored pattern design, featuring asymmetric ribs and advanced sipes, offers firm traction and stable handling on both wet and dry roads.

Going the Extra Mile with Enhanced Comfort

Taking it a step further, the EcoContact 6Q offers the same benefits but with one major upgrade: advanced noise reduction. Thanks to a newly designed tread and Continental’s Advanced Green Chili 2.0 compound, the 6Q adapts seamlessly to different road conditions while maintaining a smooth, quiet ride. This makes it particularly appealing for those who prioritize comfort and peace inside the cabin.

“At Continental, we constantly push the boundaries of tyre technology to enhance every journey with confidence. For Malaysian drivers, whether navigating city streets, cruising on highways, or embarking on long-distance journeys, the EcoContact 6 and 6Q are designed to offer comfort, efficiency, and safety for a quieter, smoother ride with extended range,” said Andrea Somorova, Managing Director of Continental Tyre Malaysia.

ContiSilent™: A Quieter Cabin Experience

The tyres also feature ContiSilent™ technology, an innovative foam layer inside the tyre that can reduce interior noise by up to 9 decibels [dB(A)]. Whether you’re commuting in the city or on a weekend road trip, this tech helps make your journey noticeably quieter—something every driver and passenger can appreciate.

Trusted by Automakers, Built for All Drivers

Backed by major automotive brands, both the EcoContact 6 and 6Q are already being used as factory-fitted tyres for global carmakers. While the EcoContact 6 focuses on durability and mileage, the 6Q targets a more refined ride with reduced cabin noise. Both are suitable across vehicle types—from petrol to plug-in hybrids and fully electric cars.

Available Nationwide and Online

Available in sizes ranging from 15″ to 21″, the tyres come with OE markings for trusted compatibility with BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Malaysian drivers can now purchase them at authorised Continental dealers nationwide, or shop online via Shopee, TNG eWallet, and Lazada.

So whether you’re driving to cut fuel costs, extend your EV’s range, or simply enjoy a quieter ride, Continental’s latest tyre tech is ready to roll with you.
