MG Cyberster: The Electric Roadster That’s Rewriting the Rules

There’s something about a convertible that stirs the soul. Wind in your hair, the hum of the road beneath, and the feeling that for a few moments, you’re not just driving—you’re alive.

Now imagine that thrill powered by silent, instantaneous electric torque. That’s the MG Cyberster—a bold, beautiful roadster that’s rewriting MG’s story in the most electrifying way possible.

A Blast From the Past, Plugged Into the Future

Let’s be honest—when you hear the name MG, the first thing that comes to mind probably isn’t an electric sports car with scissor doors. You think of the old-school British charm, small open-top cruisers from the 60s, and leisurely Sunday drives. MG was once the soul of affordable fun on wheels.

But times change.

The Cyberster, revealed first as a concept in 2021 and now fully alive in 2025, is a jaw-dropping leap from nostalgia to now. It’s still got the heart of a roadster, but it’s dressed like it just stepped off the set of a sci-fi film. And that’s not a bad thing.

Scissor Doors, Curves, and That “Look Again” Factor

The Cyberster doesn’t just look cool—it commands attention. You don’t open its doors. They rise. Yes, scissor doors on an MG. It’s dramatic, maybe even a little over-the-top, but that’s what makes it special.

The silhouette is long, low, and wide—think muscle-meets-elegance. Its rear lights flash the Union Jack (a nod to its heritage), but the body design feels distinctly modern: smooth surfaces, aggressive cuts, and a roof that folds away in seconds.

Slide into the cabin, and you’re hit with more surprises. A wraparound triple-screen display hugs the cockpit. It feels like the bridge of a spaceship—only with quilted leather, mood lighting, and a Bose sound system. It’s part sports car, part gaming lounge.

Fast. Like, Really Fast.

There are two versions of the Cyberster: the rear-wheel-drive variant with around 310 hp, and the dual-motor, all-wheel-drive beast that churns out 510+ hp and 725 Nm of torque. It can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 3.2 seconds.

So, does it deliver like a Porsche Taycan or a Tesla Model S Plaid? Not quite. But here’s the thing—it’s fun. Raw, unfiltered, grin-inducing fun. You floor it, and the car responds instantly. No delay, no drama—just silent, brutal acceleration.

Driving it through twisty roads, you’ll feel the weight (it’s nearly 2 tons), but it still holds its own. It’s more of a playful cruiser than a precision scalpel—and that’s okay. Not every sports car needs to chase lap times.

Road Trip Ready with Real Range

MG has equipped the Cyberster with a 77 kWh battery, good for up to 500 km (WLTP) in the dual-motor version. In real-world conditions, you can expect about 400–450 km, depending on your driving style.

Living With It: The Good, the Quirky

Day-to-day, the Cyberster is surprisingly livable. It has a decent-sized boot for a roadster. The seating is low and sporty but not punishing. The infotainment, while flashy, can be a bit confusing at first. Some of the display panels are awkwardly placed behind the steering wheel, and you’ll need a few drives to get used to the layout.

That said, you get Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, 360° cameras, driver-assist features, and even launch control. It’s packed with tech, even if the user interface isn’t as intuitive as a Tesla or BMW.

One thing you’ll quickly appreciate? The Bose sound system. Top down, highway cruising, your favorite playlist—it’s the kind of driving experience that makes you fall in love with motoring again.

Launching in India: A Statement Piece

MG launched the Cyberster in India at a starting price of ₹72.49 lakh, placing it in a premium segment previously untouched by electric convertibles.

It’s not trying to be a volume-seller. This is a halo car, a brand shaper. MG wants to show it’s not just about practical SUVs anymore—it can do style, speed, and luxury too.

And they’ve sweetened the deal with a lifetime battery warranty for first owners. That’s a big move in a market still warming up to EVs.

So, Who’s the Cyberster For?

Not everyone. And that’s the point.

The MG Cyberster is for the dreamers. The ones who want something different. It’s for someone who wants a car that turns heads at traffic lights, that sparks conversations at charging stations, that makes every drive feel like a celebration.

It’s not the fastest EV. Not the most refined. But it’s one of the most emotionally engaging cars MG has ever built. It dares to be bold, to be different—and in a world of lookalike SUVs and silent sedans, that’s worth celebrating.

Final Thoughts

In an era where cars are increasingly soulless and utilitarian, the MG Cyberster brings back the romance of driving—only this time, with batteries instead of petrol.

It’s loud in style, quiet on the road, and unapologetically fun.

And maybe, just maybe, it’s exactly what the EV world needed.
