Continental Tyres UltraContact UX7: The Perfect Tyre for Urban SUV Drivers
April 19, 2025Continental Tyres has officially unveiled the UltraContact UX7, a new tyre developed specifically for SUVs, designed to handle the dynamic demands of city driving and occasional off-road adventures. Set to hit the Malaysian market in Q2 of 2025, the UX7 marks a bold step forward in providing safety, durability, and comfort for the ever-growing SUV segment.
“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. “The UltraContact UX7 is optimized for SUV vehicles and addresses the real-world needs of modern drivers—from daily commutes to spontaneous weekend getaways.”
Engineered for Urban and Off-Road Versatility
With SUVs being heavier and taller than traditional passenger cars, the UltraContact UX7 is reinforced with SUV Confidence+ Technology, offering three key benefits:
🛡 Extra Safety
Whether it’s wet or dry roads, the UX7 is built for stability. Its X-Force Macroblocks provide a wider footprint for better grip and handling, especially during sudden braking or tight cornering. The Adaptive Diamond Compound uses a special silica mix to shorten braking distances, while Aqua Channel technology quickly disperses water to prevent hydroplaning.
💪 Extra Durability
City drivers often need tyres that can handle more than just asphalt. The UX7’s Robust360 Construction includes a reinforced steel belt and a stronger carcass, making it more resistant to shocks, cuts, and chips. The design improves tyre longevity while maintaining excellent performance under the heavier load of SUVs—even on gravel or dirt roads.
🤫 Extra Quietness
In the era of electric SUVs, quiet performance is more important than ever. The UX7 features Noisebreaker 3.0 and a precision-cut tread pattern that reduces vibrations and absorbs sound waves, offering a smoother and quieter drive—ideal for city environments.
Available from Q2 2025
The UltraContact UX7 will be available in a wide range of sizes, from 15” to 22”, catering to everything from compact crossovers to premium SUVs. Customers can purchase it at Continental-branded outlets, or via official online stores on Shopee, Touch ‘n Go, and Lazada.
With the UltraContact UX7, Continental is not just delivering a tyre—it’s delivering a smarter, more comfortable, and more versatile driving experience for the modern SUV owner.
