The tire incorporates '3D Grip Control Sipe' technology, which uses interlocking sawtooth-shaped blocks to minimize movement and enhance block stiffness, grip, and handling performance. In addition, an all-season compound with improved wear resistance and a widened contact patch have been applied to boost mileage performance.

Meanwhile, Hankook Tire is strengthening its strategic partnership with Volkswagen Group by building an OE tire portfolio that covers key models across its major brands. In addition to the Atlas, the company supplies OE tires to the Tayron and Tiguan, as well as CUPRA’s high-performance models such as the Tavascan, Terramar, Born, and Raval.

Furthermore, Hankook Tire's global brand, Laufenn, is expanding its collaboration by supplying tires to the Volkswagen Polo and Golf 8, Skoda’s New Octavia, as well as SEAT’s Ibiza, Arona, and Leon, among others.
