MG Motor has officially introduced the MG Cyberster in the Indian market, marking a significant step in the evolution of electric sports cars. Priced at ₹74.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the Cyberster isn’t just another electric vehicle—it’s the fastest and most advanced EV roadster ever made by MG. Aimed at EV enthusiasts and sports car lovers, this model brings a thrilling mix of performance, design, and cutting-edge technology.
Let’s dive into everything you need to know about this revolutionary machine.
Eye-Catching Design Inspired by Heritage and Futurism
MG Cyberster draws its aesthetic cues from classic British sports cars but brings a futuristic edge with a low-slung aerodynamic design. It comes with:
- Scissor doors (also called ‘Lambo-style’ doors)
- Wide rear stance and sculpted LED tail lights
- Smooth flowing body lines for high-speed performance
- Convertible soft top
The design clearly shouts “performance,” but it’s also sleek, stylish, and modern—exactly what you’d expect from a future-ready roadster.
Performance – The Fastest MG EV Yet
Under the hood (or rather, beneath the floor), the Cyberster comes in two configurations globally: a single-motor RWD and a dual-motor AWD variant. While MG India hasn’t officially confirmed which variant will first go on sale, both configurations deliver impressive performance:
- Single-Motor Variant:
- Power: ~314 PS
- 0-100 km/h: ~5 seconds
- Top Speed: ~200 km/h
- Dual-Motor Variant (Expected to Launch Later):
- Power: Over 530 PS
- 0-100 km/h: Under 3.5 seconds
- Top Speed: 250+ km/h
These specs put the MG Cyberster in competition with luxury performance EVs from Tesla, Porsche, and Audi, but at a more accessible price.
Battery, Range & Charging
The Cyberster uses a 77 kWh battery pack (in the dual-motor version), offering a real-world range of around 500 km. Key battery and charging features include:
- 800V architecture for ultra-fast charging
- DC Fast Charging – 10 to 80% in just about 35 minutes
- Home Charging support with MG’s smart wall box
- Regenerative braking to improve efficiency
This makes it a practical EV for daily drives and occasional long-distance cruising alike.
Interiors – Futuristic, Sporty, and Smart
The interior of the MG Cyberster is a perfect mix of luxury and technology. Key interior features include:
- Triple screen dashboard setup including a digital driver’s display and twin infotainment screens
- Ambient lighting to match the driving mode or mood
- Premium sports seats with red stitching and Alcantara finish
- AI Voice Assistant and connected features via MG’s iSmart system
- 360° Camera, Wireless Charging, and Advanced Navigation
Despite its sporty exterior, the cabin is surprisingly comfortable and rich in modern amenities.
Safety Features – Strong on Protection
MG Cyberster comes loaded with Level 2 ADAS safety technology, making it one of the safest electric sports cars in its segment:
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Lane Keep Assist
- Blind Spot Monitoring
- Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
- 6 Airbags
- ISOFIX Mounts
- Front and Rear Parking Sensors
The car is built on a rigid structure that combines aluminum and high-strength steel, ensuring occupant safety even at high speeds.
Who Should Buy the MG Cyberster?
The MG Cyberster is not meant for the average commuter. It’s a lifestyle EV for buyers who want:
- A high-performance electric sports car
- Futuristic tech and driving experience
- A head-turning design that’s rare in Indian roads
- Eco-conscious performance without compromising on thrill
- A weekend cruiser with practical daily range
With a ₹74.99 lakh price tag, the MG Cyberster positions itself against top-tier EVs and luxury ICE sports cars.
MG’s Strategy: First Premium, Then Mass
The launch of the Cyberster in India signifies MG Motor’s vision to expand its premium EV lineup before moving to mass-market options. By launching the Cyberster, MG aims to:
- Build a brand image of performance and innovation
- Compete with global EV giants in Indian markets
- Attract early EV adopters with high disposable income
- Establish a strong EV infrastructure support system before more affordable EVs follow
MG had earlier confirmed that India is a major focus market, and the Cyberster is a step in that long-term strategy.
Expected Competition in India
While there’s currently no direct EV competitor at this price point and body type, the Cyberster may eventually face competition from:
- Porsche Taycan
- BMW i4 M50
- Audi e-tron GT
- Tesla Roadster (if launched)
- BYD’s sports EV concepts
But in terms of a convertible electric roadster under ₹1 crore, MG Cyberster stands alone.
Final Thoughts
The MG Cyberster brings excitement back to electric cars with its powerful performance, cutting-edge design, and premium features. At ₹74.99 lakh, it is expensive—but for those who seek style, speed, and sustainability, it offers something truly unique.
It’s more than a car; it’s a statement on wheels.
