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.
