Efficient and Quiet: Continental to Supply EcoContact 7 Tires as Original Equipment for the New Nissan N7
- Japanese vehicle manufacturer approves 19-inch EcoContact 7 tires for new Nissan N7
- Continental’s original equipment tires deliver high efficiency and low rolling noise
Hanover, June 25, 2026. Continental has been selected as an original equipment supplier for Nissan: the new all-electric Nissan N7 will come factory-fitted with Continental’s EcoContact 7 in the 19-inch size. In this dimension, the tire achieves top ratings in the EU tire label categories for energy efficiency and rolling noise.
The EcoContact 7’s high energy efficiency is thanks to a new rubber compound and the Smart Energy Casing technology. Innovative materials in the tire’s carcass, inner liner and sidewall reduce internal friction and thus lower rolling resistance. The tire’s aerodynamically optimized sidewall design further increases efficiency. To achieve this, Continental combines several technologies, including its “aerodimple” structure, inspired by the surface of golf balls. The dimples integrated into the tire sidewall minimize air turbulence behind the tire, helping to reduce the vehicle’s energy consumption.
Continental also sets standards for noise comfort: the Silent Pattern tire tread pattern significantly lowers rolling noise. The spacing and angles of the tread blocks have been specifically optimized to reduce the noise frequencies typically generated in urban traffic. The result is a quieter driving experience for the vehicle occupants and lower noise levels for the surrounding environment.
This tire line is approved for the new Nissan N7 in the following size:
EcoContact 7, 235/45 R19 99Y XL FR
