5 Things We Love About The MG Cyberster!

MG’s latest headline-grabber isn’t an SUV or a hatchback. It’s not even something you’d describe as ‘family-friendly’. Instead, what MG has brought to Indian shores is a bold, unapologetic electric roadster called the Cyberster, priced at Rs 74.99 lakh (ex-showroom). Yes, you read that right. 

So, what exactly does nearly Rs 75 lakh buy you from a brand more associated with the Hector and the Gloster? Turns out, quite a lot. The Cyberster is as much about performance as it is about presence. Here are five standout reasons why it has our attention.

1. It’s Crafted To Turn Heads

You don’t “spot” a Cyberster. You see it, coming from a block away. Long, wide, and low-slung, this EV roadster looks every bit the concept car it once was. The curvy silhouette, swooping lines, sharp LED lighting, and distinctive tail section make sure it turns heads everywhere it goes. And, it's sold in quite flashy shades as well!

2. Scissor Doors. Electrically Operated. Party Trick Moment

No roadster worth its salt should have boring doors, and MG’s engineers clearly agree. The Cyberster gets powered scissor doors that open upwards, not outwards, giving it the flair usually reserved for Lamborghinis and sci-fi movies. It's dramatic, impractical in tight spaces, and absolutely brilliant.

3. A Cabin That Surprises With Its Quality And Tech

Step inside and you’re met with a cabin that’s rich in materials and ambitious in layout. MG has gone for a driver-focused cockpit with three integrated digital screens, a yoke-style steering wheel, and plenty of red and black accents. Unlike many EVs that lean too far into minimalism, the Cyberster’s interior embraces a proper sports car vibe, aggressive, premium, and wrapped in leather and Alcantara.

4. 725 Nm of Torque = Rocket Feels!

This isn’t just India’s first electric roadster, it’s also one of the fastest. Thanks to a dual-motor AWD setup that produces 544 PS and a staggering 725 Nm, the Cyberster rockets from 0 to 100kmph in just 3.2 seconds. 

That’s quicker than many established performance cars twice the price. And thanks to a massive 77 kWh battery pack, you also get a claimed range of 520 km (WLTP), which should help ease any range anxiety between your weekend blasts.

5. Convertible Roof = Maximum Drama Per Kilometre

Top-down driving is a rare pleasure in India, partly because very few convertibles are even on sale. The Cyberster changes that. The fully-electric soft-top roof can be dropped in seconds, letting you take in the skyline, the sea breeze, or just the stares of the people around you. It’s a lifestyle element that elevates this from a fast EV to something a lot more aspirational.

The Point?

At Rs 74.99 lakh, the MG Cyberster isn’t cheap. But it’s not trying to be. This is a halo product, meant to redefine what the MG badge can stand for. It’s a bold, beautifully designed electric sports car that brings drama, speed, and luxury.

Whether or not it becomes a regular sight on our roads, one thing is certain: the Cyberster makes you look at MG differently. And maybe that’s the whole point.
