Who Is This Car For
The MG Cyberster is a two-door electric roadster from MG (under SAIC Motor) launched in India in July 2025. It targets performance EV buyers with a dual-motor AWD setup, convertible roof, scissor doors, and a strong focus on style and tech.
It is offered via the MG Select premium channel in India.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Very strong performance figures for an EV roadster in this segment (0-100 km/h ~3.2 s).
- Stylish, sporty design with convertible roof & scissor-doors (adds uniqueness).
- Premium feature set and tech (dual-motor AWD, large battery, good range).
- Brand value + niche product in India (limited competition)
Cons
- As with many performance EVs in India: cost is high (luxury segment) so practicality may be limited. One review says “restrictive interior storage and practicality” are weak points.
- Ground clearance / convertible roof practicality in Indian roads may be a concern.
- Being relatively new and niche, service/parts may be less widespread.
- The weight (large battery + convertible roof) means it may not handle like a lightweight sports car in every respect. Review comments mention “more GT than razor-sharp sports car”
