The Volkswagen Multivan, part of the iconic van series that began production in 1949, continues to be a flagship model for the German automaker. Built on Volkswagen’s MQB platform, which is known for supporting transverse engines, the new Multivan incorporates the latest in electrification technologies and modern features, such as a digital instrument cluster and wireless phone charging. These advancements highlight Volkswagen's commitment to staying at the forefront of innovation in the van and transporter segment.

The Kumho ECSTA HS52 is a high-performance tyre designed to deliver exceptional driving comfort and stability. Its robust tread block pattern provides consistent friction with the road surface, which helps to reduce shock and noise, thus enhancing overall driving comfort. This makes the HS52 a versatile choice, suitable not only for sedans but also for sportier vehicles.

The ECSTA HS52 has already earned high praise in the tyre industry, receiving top marks in recent summer tyre performance tests by prominent German auto magazines, ADAC Motorwelt and Auto Bild. The tyre was ranked third (grade: Good) by ADAC Motorwelt and fourth (grade: Good) by Auto Bild, further cementing its reputation as a top-tier option for drivers seeking both performance and comfort.

Commenting on the partnership, Insoo Kim, Executive Vice President of Sales - OE at Kumho Tyre, stated, “Our supply of OE tyres for the Multivan holds great significance since the vehicle is a key model belonging to a series that dates back to the beginning of Volkswagen. The automaker’s recognition of our quality and technological capabilities has enabled us to maintain a strong partnership with them, even before the Multivan, with respect to such vehicles as the Polo, Taos and Jetta.”

Kumho Tyre's selection as the OE tyre provider for the Multivan underscores the company's strong relationship with Volkswagen and highlights its ability to meet the demands of premium vehicle manufacturers. This collaboration also reflects Kumho's ongoing commitment to innovation and quality, as evidenced by its recent success in supplying tyres for electric vehicles from other prestigious automakers.
