In a bold and exciting move, JSW MG has launched the much-anticipated Cyberster electric roadster in India at a starting price of ₹72.49 lakh for early buyers. Positioned as the fastest MG ever made, the Cyberster is not just another EV—it’s a head-turning, top-down convertible that blends luxury, speed, and sustainability like never before.

This marks a significant moment in India’s EV journey, where premium electric vehicles are beginning to find a serious place among luxury car buyers. Let’s break down what makes the MG Cyberster such a standout in the growing electric vehicle market.

First Things First: What Is the MG Cyberster?

The MG Cyberster is a 2-door electric roadster, inspired by classic British sports cars but built with cutting-edge electric technology. It’s a convertible, which means the roof folds down, offering an open-air experience—a rare sight in the EV world, especially in India.

But what truly makes the Cyberster special is its design, performance, and futuristic features. Think of it as a blend of style and substance: it’s not just about looking good, but driving well, going fast, and lasting long on a single charge.

Pricing and Booking: Early Birds Get the Deal

JSW MG has priced the Cyberster at ₹72.49 lakh for customers who had pre-booked the vehicle before its official launch. For new bookings, the price is ₹74.99 lakh (ex-showroom). That early booking discount of ₹2.5 lakh is a sweet deal for those who showed interest early.

Bookings are now open across 13 major cities in India via MG’s Select showrooms and its official website. A fully refundable token amount of ₹51,000 is required to reserve the car.

Deliveries are set to begin from August 10, 2025.

Performance That Leaves Rivals Behind

The headline feature of the MG Cyberster is its raw performance. This is India’s first all-electric convertible that can go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds. That puts it right in the territory of high-performance cars from Porsche or Audi.

Here are the key performance specs:

• Motor Setup: Dual motor (All-Wheel Drive)
• Power Output: 510 PS (approx. 503 bhp)
• Torque: 725 Nm
• Top Speed: Around 200 km/h
• 0-100 km/h Acceleration: 3.2 seconds
  

This car isn’t just fast for an EV; it’s fast, period. And with that kind of power under your feet, the Cyberster earns its title as the fastest MG ever built.

Range & Charging – No Compromises

What about range? The MG Cyberster packs a 77 kWh ultra-thin battery, capable of delivering a certified range of up to 580 km (MIDC cycle) on a single charge. That’s more than enough for long road trips or everyday city commutes for a full week.

Thanks to its thin 110mm battery pack, the car maintains a low center of gravity, improving handling and overall road dynamics. It supports fast charging, although exact charging times are yet to be officially detailed.

Smart, Safe & Future-Ready

MG has loaded the Cyberster with Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), ensuring both performance and safety. The car includes features like:

• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Lane Keep Assist
• Emergency Braking
• Blind Spot Monitoring
• Driver Monitoring System

For those worried about real-world safety, MG claims that the Cyberster has an impressive Static Stability Factor (SSF) of 1.83, which gives it strong resistance against rollover accidents. There are also 4 airbags, ESC, and Brembo brakes for additional peace of mind.

Design: Retro Meets Futuristic

The Cyberster is unlike anything MG has sold in India before. Its design is inspired by 1960s British sports cars, especially from MG’s own legacy, but brought into the modern era with aggressive styling, sharp edges, and high-tech lighting.

Key Design Highlights:

• Electric Scissor Doors: Opens upward like a Lamborghini
• Soft Top Convertible Roof: Opens/closes in ~5 seconds
• 20-Inch Alloy Wheels: With Pirelli P-Zero tyres for grip
• Low Drag Coefficient: At just 0.269 Cd for better aerodynamics

It’s available in bold colors like Dynamic Red, Cosmic Silver, and New English White, with high-gloss accents and dark chrome touches.

Cabin Experience: A Digital Lounge on Wheels

The interior of the Cyberster is designed to feel like a high-end tech lounge. It features a quad-screen setup:

• A 10.25-inch main touchscreen
• Two 7-inch driver displays
• A fourth 7-inch console screen for settings and media

Add to that Bose premium audio, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, dual-zone climate control, and AI-powered ambient lighting, and you’ve got a cockpit that feels straight out of a video game—only real.

The upholstery uses vegan leather and Dinamica suede, making it both luxurious and eco-conscious.

Sustainability With Style

Let’s not forget—the Cyberster is electric. That means zero tailpipe emissions, less noise pollution, and a much smaller carbon footprint compared to traditional petrol-powered sports cars.

What’s unique is how the Cyberster makes being eco-friendly look and feel cool. For many young, aspirational Indian buyers, this could be a big factor in choosing an EV over a fuel-guzzler.

Warranty & After-Sales

MG is offering:

• 3-Year Unlimited Kilometre Vehicle Warranty
• 8-Year Battery Warranty
• Lifetime Battery Warranty for First Owner (T&C apply)
  

This gives buyers peace of mind, especially since EV

 longevity are common concerns for first-time owners.

Where Does It Stand in the Market?

At ₹72.49–74.99 lakh, the Cyberster doesn’t have direct EV competition in India right now. It sits between luxury electric SUVs like the Volvo XC40 Recharge and performance petrol cars like the BMW Z4.

It’s a niche car, no doubt. But it’s also a statement car—one that says you care about performance, the planet, and being ahead of the curve.

With growing interest in EVs and luxury mobility, the Cyberster may not sell in huge numbers, but it will build brand value and turn heads wherever it goes.

What Does This Mean for India’s EV Scene?

The launch of the MG Cyberster is more than just another car unveiling. It signals a new era for electric vehicles in India—one where EVs are not just practical but also aspirational and thrilling.

Until now, EV options in India have mostly been about utility—good range, low running costs, and city driving. The Cyberster changes that narrative. It proves EVs can be desirable, luxurious, and fun—not just smart.

This may also encourage other automakers to bring their performance EVs to India. More choices, more competition, and faster adoption.

Final Thoughts: Is the Cyberster Worth It?

If you’re someone who enjoys driving, appreciates design, and wants to stand out—while also being climate-conscious—the MG Cyberster might just be the car for you.Yes, it’s expensive. But it’s also unique, fully electric, and backed by a solid brand that has already proven its commitment to EVs in India with models like the ZS EV and Comet.

MG has taken a bold step here. And in doing so, they’ve just made the Indian EV space a lot more exciting.
