The Indian EV scene just got a lot more exciting. MG Motor, known for blending tech-forward design with affordability, has officially launched the MG Cyberster, a bold two-door electric roadster. Priced at Rs 74.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the Cyberster stands out as a stylish, convertible EV with plenty of performance and premium features.
Here’s a closer look at what makes the MG Cyberster unique—and whether it lives up to the growing buzz.
First Things First: Price and Positioning
The MG Cyberster price in India is set at ₹74,99,000, ex-showroom, available as a single fully-loaded variant. While it may not seem affordable at first glance, it’s currently the only electric sports car in this price range in the Indian market. There’s really no direct competition—it sits in a niche of its own, appealing to buyers who want performance and exclusivity without spending two or three times more.
Exterior Design: Scissor Doors and a Soft Top
From the outside, the Cyberster makes a statement. Think aggressive lines, wide proportions, and electric scissor doors that open upwards for dramatic flair. The soft top convertible roof adds to its weekend-cruiser appeal. It’s a car that looks futuristic yet still rooted in classic sports car proportions.
LED lighting is used throughout, from the sharp headlamps to the distinctive rear design. If design and presence matter to you, the Cyberster delivers on both fronts.
Interior and Features: Tech-Heavy, Comfort-First
Inside the cabin, the Cyberster feels more like a tech showcase than a typical roadster. It features a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, two 7-inch auxiliary screens, and a vertical 7-inch infotainment screen—all focused around the driver. An AR-based Head-Up Display (HUD) and AI voice assistant round out the digital experience.
Comfort isn’t forgotten either. You get heated and ventilated power front bucket seats, wrapped in vegan leather upholstery, plus ambient lighting and an 8-speaker Bose sound system for immersive audio. Features like dual-zone climate control, wireless phone charging, and a flat-bottom steering wheel make the interior both practical and premium.
Safety and ADAS: Level 2 Assistance in a Roadster
MG hasn’t skimped on safety. The Cyberster is equipped with multiple airbags, electronic stability control, and a 360-degree camera. You also get tyre pressure monitoring, among other core safety systems.
What really stands out is the inclusion of Level 2 ADAS, which is still rare in performance cars. This suite includes:
- Lane Keep Assist
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Forward Collision Warning
- Autonomous Emergency Braking
- Auto High Beam
These features aren’t just marketing fluff—they add real-world confidence to everyday driving.
Performance and Range: Fast, Fun, and Efficient
This is where the Cyberster starts to shine. It’s powered by a dual-motor AWD setup with a total output of 510 hp and 725 Nm of torque. That’s enough to launch the roadster from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds, making it one of the fastest EVs in its price segment.
The battery is equally impressive. With a 77 kWh unit, it delivers a certified range of up to 580 km (MIDC cycle). The slim 110mm battery pack helps keep the center of gravity low, improving handling. The aerodynamic design with a drag coefficient of just 0.269 Cd supports both performance and efficiency.
Driving modes include:
- Comfort
- Sport
- Custom
- Super Sport
So whether you’re cruising on the highway or hitting twisty roads, the Cyberster adapts to your mood.
Charging and Tech Extras
Charging options are practical for daily use:
- AC full charge in about 7 hours
- DC fast charging from 10% to 80% in just 35 minutes
- Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) support to power external devices
This makes the Cyberster not just a sports car but also a viable daily EV if you have access to home or fast charging stations.
Dimensions and Practicality
The MG Cyberster isn’t just about speed. It’s also reasonably practical for a two-seater. Here are some key dimensions:
- Length: 4535mm
- Width: 1913mm
- Height: 1329mm
- Wheelbase: 2690mm
- Ground Clearance: 116mm
- Boot Space: 249 litres
While you’re not buying this for cargo capacity, the boot is large enough for weekend bags or daily essentials.
Color Options
Available in four bold colors:
- Flare Red
- Nuclear Yellow
- Andes Grey
- Modern Beige
Each color complements the convertible’s striking design in its own way, so there’s a style for every type of buyer.
The Competition (Or Lack Thereof)
Truth be told, the MG Cyberster doesn’t have any direct rivals in India right now. While EV sedans and SUVs are gaining popularity, a two-door electric roadster with this level of equipment, performance, and price accessibility is unheard of.
Even globally, alternatives like the Tesla Roadster or Lotus Emeya (when available) sit in a much higher price band. This makes the Cyberster a one-of-a-kind offering—at least for now.
Final Thoughts: A Bold Entry Into Performance EVs
The MG Cyberster proves that electric cars can still be emotional, fun, and head-turning. It’s a sports car for a new era—one that combines sharp design, everyday tech, and performance that can genuinely thrill.
While it’s not cheap, it is one of the most affordable electric roadsters in India, offering a blend of style and substance rarely seen in the EV space. For those who want their car to make a statement—not just on the road, but about the future—this could be the perfect fit.
