Kuala Lumpur, 9 July 2025 – Over the years, Malaysia has seen a rise in demand for fuel-efficient and eco-friendly tyres. In a country where cars play a central role in daily life, Malaysian drivers are increasingly seeking tyres that help reduce fuel consumption and enhance safety without compromising on comfort.
To meet this growing demand, the leading German tyre manufacturer Continental proudly introduces the EcoContact 6 and EcoContact 6Q to the Malaysian market. Designed to enhance everyday driving, these tyres deliver exceptional comfort, lower rolling resistance, and improved efficiency, allowing petrol and hybrid vehicles to consume less fuel, and enabling electric vehicles to travel further on a single charge.
Engineered for fuel efficiency, the EcoContact 6 reduces CO₂ emissions with its high-tech silica compound, which optimises rolling resistance. Its tailor-made pattern, asymmetric rib, and sipe geometry provide superior grip and stability on wet and dry roads.
Meanwhile, the EcoContact 6Q builds on these features with advanced noise reduction technology, ensuring a smoother and quieter drive. The custom tread pattern and Advanced Green Chili 2.0 compound, which adapt to road conditions, further improve rolling resistance and fuel economy. While its asymmetric rib and sipe geometry maintain consistent road contact, it also enhances stability, especially during lane changes, and minimises road noise for a more comfortable ride.
“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.
Recognising the growing market needs, Continental has incorporated ContiSilent™ technology into the EcoContact 6 and EcoContact 6Q. This innovative polyurethane foam absorber reduces interior noise by up to 9 dB(A), ensuring a quieter and more comfortable drive across various road surfaces. By minimising cabin noise, ContiSilent™ enhances the overall driving experience, making journeys more peaceful for Malaysian drivers.
Trusted by leading automotive brands, the EcoContact 6 and 6Q are factory-fitted by top global car manufacturers due to their ultra-low rolling resistance and ability to extend driving range. While both models prioritise efficiency, the EcoContact 6 focuses on durability, whereas the EcoContact 6Q enhances driving comfort with additional noise reduction technology. Their versatile performance makes them equally suitable for petrol, hybrid, and electric vehicles.
Malaysians can now experience the Continental EcoContact 6 and 6Q, available in sizes from 15″ to 21″, with OE markings specially developed and approved for BMW and Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The tyres are available at authorised Continental dealers nationwide, as well as at official Continental stores on Shopee, TNG eWallet, and Lazada.
