Connected by Design: Goodyear’s Eagle Xplore powers Citroën ELO concept car

Goodyear and Citroën have partnered for the launch of the Citroën ELO concept car, a vehicle designed to become a laboratory of ideas exploring new territories that inspire Citroën’s reflections for the future. As part of this collaboration, Goodyear has developed the Eagle Xplore, a bespoke concept tire that elevates tire connectivity and design in a unique blend of technology and style. The tire features an orange sidewall pigment, which is a tribute to the vehicle’s signature color. The Goodyear Eagle Xplore also integrates Goodyear SightLine, an advanced suite of tire intelligence technologies, fully connected to the car and accessible via the cockpit and ELO’s app. For the first time, SightLine displays real-time tire pressure directly on the vehicle’s rim through an LED sidebar, ensuring maximum efficiency and maintenance for every adventure.

Goodyear Eagle Xplore: Designed for Adventure

Inspired by Goodyear’s legendary Eagle high-performance heritage, the Eagle Xplore concept tire combines premium design with rugged capability. Its tread pattern draws from the iconic Wrangler line, incorporating a robust design to deliver traction and unleash unforgettable experiences—perfectly aligned with ELO’s adventurous DNA and spirit of exploration.

More than a tire, Goodyear Eagle Xplore is a statement of complete customization, transforming the tire into a bespoke, highly connected element of the vehicle—where technology and  design converge.

A tire that talks

Powered by Goodyear SightLine, a proprietary suite of smart tire technologies that provides real-time insights for safety and performance improvements in vehicles, Eagle Xplore delivers real-time data on tire pressure and load directly to the cockpit and the ELO app. For the first time, tire pressure is displayed on the rim via an LED sidebar:

·        Green indicates optimal pressure.

·        Red signals adjustment is needed.

Goodyear SightLine’s predictive capabilities also help maintain stability even in challenging conditions and enable the vehicle to optimize tire life by operating consistently at the ideal pressure

“Goodyear Eagle Xplore is where innovation meets style,” said Ben Glesener, senior technology director, Product Development, Consumer EMEA. “By combining distinctive design, intelligent innovation, and seamless connectivity, Goodyear is redefining the future of mobility with tailored solutions that transform every journey into an extraordinary experience”. 

Together, Goodyear and Citroën are shaping a future where journeys become connected and expressive.
