Kumho Tire Supplies New Tires for Volkswagen Multivan

Kumho Tire announced on the 19th that it will supply original equipment tires for the 7th generation Volkswagen Multivan (Multivan T7). The supplied product is the ECSTA HS52, available in two sizes (235/55R17, 235/50R18).

The Volkswagen Multivan has been the longest-produced model by Volkswagen since 1949. The Multivan T7 is based on the MQB platform (a transverse engine dedicated platform) representing the Volkswagen Group, incorporating various features and electrification technologies reflecting the latest trends in commercial vehicles, such as a digital cluster package and wireless charging pad.

The 'ECSTA HS52' supplied for this Multivan T7 model is designed to provide drivers with a comfortable driving experience and high safety. Kumho Tire officials explained that it is a product suitable for both sedans and sports vehicles.

By applying a solid block design to the tread pattern, the tire maintains consistent road friction pressure when in contact with the road surface, reducing impact and noise while improving ride comfort.

The ECSTA HS52 product ranked 3rd overall (Good rating) and 4th overall (Good rating) respectively in summer tire performance tests conducted earlier this year by ADAC and Auto Bild, Germany’s most influential automotive magazines in Europe and worldwide. This is the highest evaluation among domestic tire manufacturers.

Kim In-su, Executive Director of OE Sales at Kumho Tire, said, "Supplying the Multivan T7 OE by Kumho Tire is meaningful as it is for Volkswagen’s longest-produced and representative vehicle," adding, "We have established a strong partnership with Volkswagen, recognized for Kumho Tire’s technology and quality, following Taos, Jetta, and ID.4."
