VOLKSWAGEN CHOOSES CONTINENTAL TIRES FOR THE NEW ID. CROSS

Continental has received original-equipment approval for the new Volkswagen ID. Cross. The all-electric compact SUV is factory-fitted with the EcoContact 7 summer tire in 17-, 18- and 19-inch sizes. For winter use, Volkswagen recommends Continental’s WinterContact TS 870 P. In addition, the 18-inch AllSeasonContact 2 is recommended for drivers who prefer all-season tires.

The EcoContact 7 is designed for low rolling resistance and high mileage, supporting energy-efficient and cost-effective driving. Its Smart Energy Casing technology uses innovative materials in the carcass, inner layer and sidewall to reduce friction within the tire. Additionally, the special Aerodimple structure on the sidewall reduces air turbulence behind the tire, lowering aerodynamic drag. The Silent Pattern tread design dampens rolling noise, particularly at city driving speeds.
