MG Motor India’s highly anticipated all-electric roadster, the MG Cyberster, has been spotted testing in Mumbai in its English White color scheme. This sighting comes just months after the car made its Indian debut at the 2025 Auto Expo, where it was showcased alongside the brand’s M9 premium electric MPV. With an expected price tag of Rs 75-80 lakh (ex-showroom), the Cyberster is set to shake up the luxury EV sports car market in India.
A Sporty Design With a Retro Twist
The MG Cyberster blends futuristic electric performance with classic roadster aesthetics. The most eye-catching elements? Scissor doors and an electrically retractable fabric roof, giving it a dramatic presence.
The Cyberster’s dimensions add to its aggressive stance:
- Length: 4,535 mm
- Width: 1,913 mm
- Height: 1,329 mm
- Wheelbase: 2,900 mm
- Wheels: 20-inch dual-tone alloys
At the front, it sports a honeycomb mesh grille, swept-back LED headlamps, and a full-width LED light bar that adds a futuristic touch. The rear design is equally bold, featuring arrow-shaped LED taillamps and diffuser-style elements on the bumper.
Luxury Meets Technology in the Cabin
Step inside, and the Cyberster’s interior is nothing short of premium. The black-and-red-themed two-seater cabin is packed with high-end materials and cutting-edge tech.
- Seats: Two bucket seats with six-way electric adjustment, memory function, and ventilation.
- Screens: A triple-screen dashboard setup featuring:
- A 7-inch digital instrument cluster
- A 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system (Android Auto & Apple CarPlay)
- A 7-inch touchscreen for AC controls
- Audio System: An 8-speaker Bose sound system for an immersive experience.
- Steering: A multi-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel with integrated controls.
The touch-enabled air conditioning controls further add to the high-tech, minimalist cabin feel.
Performance: A 510 HP Beast on Wheels
Under the hood—or rather, beneath the floor—the Cyberster houses a 77 kWh battery pack, delivering an impressive 450 km range on a single charge. The dual-motor setup produces a staggering 510 hp and 725 Nm of torque, making it one of the quickest EVs in India.
Performance figures:
- 0-100 km/h: 3.2 seconds
- Top speed: 180 km/h
- Drive modes: Comfort, Custom, Sport, Track
Globally, MG offers the Cyberster in two variants: Trophy (single motor) and GT (dual motor with AWD). However, MG India has yet to confirm which version will hit Indian roads.
Safety Features and ADAS Technology
Safety hasn’t taken a backseat in the Cyberster. It’s loaded with Level-2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), making it one of the most advanced electric roadsters on sale.
Key safety features include:
- Multiple airbags for enhanced occupant protection.
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) for improved handling.
- Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) to ensure optimal driving safety.
- Seatbelt and over-speed warnings for added driver awareness.
Premium Showroom Experience for Cyberster Buyers
MG has big plans for the Cyberster’s retail strategy in India. Unlike its other models—Comet EV, Astor, Hector, ZS EV, Gloster, and Windsor EV— which will continue to be sold through standard MG dealerships, the Cyberster will be sold exclusively via MG’s ‘Select Premium Showrooms’, a network designed for high-end electric models.
This strategy signals MG’s intent to position the Cyberster as a luxury electric sports car, possibly as an alternative to models like the BMW Z4, albeit with an all-electric twist.
Can the Cyberster Carve Its Own Space in India?
The Indian electric vehicle market is heating up, but sports EVs remain a niche segment. With no direct rivals in the country, MG might have an open field to play in. However, the price point—hovering around Rs 75-80 lakh—puts it in competition with entry-level Porsche, BMW, and Audi performance cars. The challenge? Convincing buyers to ditch traditional petrol-powered performance cars in favor of an all-electric roadster.
Still, the Cyberster’s combination of stunning design, raw performance, and premium tech makes it an exciting entrant in India’s luxury EV space. With test units already spotted in Mumbai, an official launch could be right around the corner.
