A Game-Changing EV That Combines Speed, Style, and Sustainability
New Delhi, July 25, 2025 — British automotive brand MG (Morris Garages), now backed by China’s SAIC Motor, has shaken up India’s electric vehicle (EV) market with the grand debut of its first all-electric sports car — the MG Cyberster. Priced at ₹74.99 lakh (ex-showroom), this revolutionary roadster blends classic convertible charm with futuristic electric power, redefining performance and luxury in the EV segment.
MG’s Leap Into Luxury EV Territory
MG Motor has made a significant pivot from its conventional electric lineup, like the ZS EV and Comet EV, by introducing the Cyberster — a two-door, two-seater electric sports convertible designed to thrill. This marks the launch of its MG Select division, dedicated to premium, high-performance electric vehicles.
Early birds who pre-booked the vehicle before the official release can avail it at a special price of ₹72.49 lakh.
Deliveries will begin on August 10 and will be conducted through 13 MG Select dealerships across India’s metro cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Pune.
Blistering Performance: 0 to 100 km/h in 3.2 Seconds
The MG Cyberster is India’s fastest MG to date, powered by a dual-motor all-wheel drive setup that produces a jaw-dropping 510 PS (503 bhp) and 725 Nm of torque. Mated to a 77 kWh CATL lithium-ion battery, the Cyberster rockets from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds.
Its claimed CLTC range is around 580 km on a single charge, placing it comfortably ahead of most petrol-powered sports cars in terms of day-to-day usability.
Exterior Design: Retro-Futurism with Road Presence
MG has taken a bold step in design, merging retro sports car styling with futuristic aesthetics. Key highlights include:
- Scissor doors that open upward, reminiscent of Lamborghini-style flamboyance
- Arrow-shaped LED DRLs and a sleek full-width LED rear light bar
- Retractable soft-top roof for convertible thrills
- 20-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels for added road appeal
- Active rear spoiler to enhance high-speed stability
The Cyberster’s silhouette is low-slung, muscular, and purposeful — giving it serious GT vibes rather than a stripped-down track car.
Interior & Features: Where Performance Meets Luxury
Inside, the Cyberster doesn’t skimp on luxury or tech. MG has loaded the vehicle with premium creature comforts and advanced systems:
- 360-degree camera for easy parking and maneuvering
- 12-speaker BOSE surround sound system
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Three-screen digital driver cockpit
- Heated and ventilated seats
- Wireless charging pad
- AI-powered driver monitoring system
- Level-2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), including adaptive cruise control, emergency braking, lane keep assist
- Four dynamic drive modes: Comfort, Sport, Custom, and Super Sport
MG claims the vehicle’s handling has been refined by engineers with F1-grade motorsport experience, making it not just powerful but agile and responsive.
MG Select: A Premium Retail Experience
The Cyberster will be sold under the new ‘MG Select’ banner, MG Motor’s premium sub-brand focused exclusively on luxury electric vehicles. The idea is to offer an elite experience — from custom delivery to white-glove servicing and direct access to MG’s top-tier EV specialists.
Interested buyers can even complete the entire purchase journey online, with MG Select promising doorstep test drives and exclusive track-day events for owners.
Segment Impact: Electric Roadster at Petrol Prices
With a launch price below ₹75 lakh, the MG Cyberster finds itself in a unique niche. It undercuts several petrol-powered sports cars such as the BMW Z4 (₹90 lakh) and Porsche 718 Cayman (₹1 crore), while offering zero-emission driving, instant torque, and futuristic features.
