Auto Bild Praised the Continental PremiumContact 7 for Its Exemplary Driving Characteristics
The Continental PremiumContact 7 has been named “The Green Tyre of the Year” and “Green Champion” by Auto Bild, edging out seven other competitors.
Auto Bild‘s editorial team conducted a test on eight summer tyres in the dimension of 235/55 R 19 on a Kia EV6. Two new models, specially developed for electric cars, were included in the test. The specialized magazine thus recognized the “exemplary” driving characteristics of the Continental PremiumContact7 and the “commitment to a clean environment while complying with all safety standards.”
Auto Bild also stated that the tyre “guarantees excellent driving pleasure”. The excellent performance of the tyres in the test demonstrated that the “economic use of energy, whether in the form of electrical energy from the battery or fossil fuels from the fuel tank”, is a necessary prerequisite. However, safety standards should not be reduced in any case.
In conclusion, the editorial team wrote that the Continental PremiumContact 7 offers many benefits, including shorter wet and dry braking distances, precise dry handling, pleasantly quiet comfort, low tyre wear, and low energy consumption. These features align with Continental‘s product strategy of developing tyres that meet the requirements for electric vehicles while sustainably reducing emissions from combustion vehicles.
