MG Cyberster Review & Comparison 2025: Does India’s All-Electric Roadster Redefine Fun?

The MG Cyberster has stormed onto India’s scene in 2025, positioned as the country’s first all-electric roadster and arguably its wildest this year. Here’s a detailed look at its specs, real-world impressions, and how it stands against both electric and traditional rivals.

Performance & Powertrain

Dual Motor (AWD): 503–510PS, 725Nm torque—outruns some supercars in a 0–100km/h sprint (3.2 seconds).
Battery: 77kWh lithium-ion, MIDC-certified 580km range—among the best in the segment.
Launch Control: Equipped for thrilling starts.
Regenerative Braking: Adjustable for custom driving feel.
Comparison: Beats most EV sedans and even BMW M2 (which costs over ₹1 crore, ICE only) for 0–100km/h acceleration.

Design & Dimensions

Convertible Roadster: Striking scissor doors, aerodynamically sculpted exterior, 20-inch alloys.
Dimensions:
- Length: 4,535mm
- Width: 1,913mm
- Height: 1,329mm
- Wheelbase: 2,690mm
- Boot: 250L (good for a sports convertible).
Cabin: Fighter-jet theme, digital cockpit, premium sports buckets, high-quality leather and trim.

Tech & Features

Infotainment: 12.3-inch driver cluster + 10.1-inch touchscreen, wireless CarPlay/Android Auto.
ADAS Kit: Adaptive cruise, lane keep, blind spot, 360° camera, MG Pilot suite.
Safety: 6 airbags, ESP, ABS+EBD, brake assist, vehicle stability.
Others: Ventilated seats, ambient lighting, multi-mode drive select.

Ride, Handling & Real-World Use

Chassis: Double-wishbone (front/rear), gives sharp handling and neutral steering; some reviewers find the steering a bit light at high speeds, but body roll is minimal.
City Driving: Smooth, quiet, one-pedal mode makes traffic easy, but watch for low ground clearance on big speed humps.
Highway/Motorway: Composed, great for long drives, but wind noise higher vs. fixed-roof EVs.
Cons: Cabin is tight, rear visibility limited (mitigated by sensors/camera), ride is firm—typical for a focused sports car.

Cyberster vs Competition

Model	Power/Accel	Range	Ex-Showroom ₹	Fuel
Cyberster	510PS/3.2s	580km	~75 lakh	Electric
BMW M2	453PS/4.2s	NA	~1.04 crore	Petrol
Porsche 718	300PS/4.6s	NA	~1.46 crore	Petrol
Kia EV6 GT	585PS/3.5s	528km	~65 lakh	Electric
BYD Seal	531PS/3.8s	650km	~60 lakh	Electric

Cyberster strengths: Most affordable pure-electric convertible, wild styling, huge power, supercar-like 0–100km/h, tons of attention and tech for price.
Drawbacks: Not as plush for daily use as BMW, Porsche rivals; ride isn’t as smooth as EV sedans, but far more engaging and exclusive at the price.

Verdict

The MG Cyberster is the most attention-grabbing, unfiltered EV you can buy in India for the money. Yes, it’s a two-seater indulgence and not for practical buyers—but for those who crave driving pleasure, next-gen tech, and green street credibility, nothing else delivers the same drama or value in 2025. You won’t blend in, and that’s exactly the point.
