Continental Summer - Lineup at a glance

Where each model sits, what it is tuned for, and how the models trade off

Continental's passenger summer range runs from the uncompromisingly sporty SportContact 7, through the versatile all-rounder PremiumContact 7, to the efficiency-focused UltraContact NXT and the new EcoContact 7. Within one brand the models aren't directly comparable - each is built for a different purpose.
