MG Motor India has introduced its much-anticipated all-electric sports car, the MG Cyberster, at a price of Rs 74.99 lakh (ex-showroom). This marks a significant entry into the premium electric vehicle market in India, offering a unique blend of heritage-inspired styling and modern electric performance. The Cyberster is positioned as a niche offering targeting auto enthusiasts, especially those drawn to luxury convertibles with zero-emission technology.
Design and Exterior
The MG Cyberster takes inspiration from the company’s historic British roadsters, with sleek lines, a low-slung stance, and a two-door convertible body style. The front features a sharp nose with LED headlamps, a sculpted bonnet, and a minimalist grille area due to the lack of a traditional engine. The rear houses stylish LED tail lamps and an active rear spoiler for aerodynamic stability. The scissor-style doors add a dramatic touch, enhancing the car’s futuristic appeal.
Interior and Features
Inside, the Cyberster boasts a driver-centric cockpit with high-quality materials and a digital-first design. A fully digital instrument cluster, a wraparound touchscreen infotainment system, and premium upholstery define the cabin experience. The sports steering wheel, customizable ambient lighting, and bolstered bucket seats emphasize the car’s performance-oriented nature. Voice commands, connected car features, and smartphone integration come standard, in line with modern expectations.
Performance and Battery
Powering the MG Cyberster is an all-electric drivetrain available in both single-motor and dual-motor configurations. The base variant delivers 314 bhp, while the top-spec dual-motor model offers 536 bhp and all-wheel drive capability. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in under 4 seconds, making it one of the fastest electric offerings in the country. The battery pack offers a claimed range of approximately 500 kilometers on a full charge. Fast charging support ensures minimal downtime during long drives.
Technology and Safety
MG has equipped the Cyberster with a suite of advanced technologies including ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), multiple drive modes, regenerative braking, and wireless over-the-air software updates. In terms of safety, the vehicle features multiple airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, a 360-degree camera, and a reinforced body structure that complies with international crash standards.
Availability and Bookings
The MG Cyberster will be sold as a completely built unit (CBU) and is expected to be available in limited numbers across select MG dealerships in metro cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, and Chennai. Bookings are now open, with deliveries expected to begin later this year. Interested buyers can visit MG showrooms or book the vehicle online through the company’s official website.
Market Significance
With the launch of the Cyberster, MG aims to create a niche for electric sports cars in India. The move reflects the brand’s global shift toward electrification while retaining its classic British identity. Though the price positions it above most EVs in the country, the Cyberster’s unique value lies in its combination of luxury, performance, and electric mobility.
MG’s Cyberster could become a benchmark for future premium electric vehicles in India, catering to a growing class of consumers looking for performance with sustainability.
