Thanks to its tire technology, the EcoContact 6 Q ensures lower energy consumption and offers a high level of noise comfort – perfect for the requirements of electric vehicles such as the Renault R5 E-Tech Electric.

The EcoContact 6 Q tire is specifically designed to reduce energy consumption and provide a quiet, comfortable ride. The tire’s advanced rubber compound minimizes energy absorption during driving, reducing friction and rolling resistance, which is particularly beneficial for electric vehicles like the Renault 5 E-Tech Electric. Continental’s tire technology also includes noise-optimized features to ensure a smooth and silent driving experience, which is a critical factor for electric cars.

Additionally, the tire’s tread has been optimized to enhance handling, braking performance, and stability, providing reliable grip on both dry and wet roads.
