After years away from true sports cars, MG is back with the Cyberster, a head turning electric convertible built to impress. Bold design, high tech features, and serious performance all come together in a package that is as fun as it is unique. This review covers everything you need to know about the new MG Cyberster, from its standout looks to its fast charging power and the driving experience that puts it in a league of its own.
The MG Cyberster looks nothing like any other car in the brand’s recent lineup. With its sharp LED headlights and arrow shaped nose, it draws inspiration from modern tech and classic roadsters. The showstopper is the electric scissor doors that open in seconds, paired with a soft top roof that folds away in under 15 seconds even while driving up to 48 km/h. Sitting on 20 inch turbine style wheels and wrapped in Pirelli P Zeros, the Cyberster’s low stance and sculpted lines make it stand out anywhere.
This roadster is about 4,535 mm long and 1,913 mm wide, putting it close in size to a Porsche 718 Boxster but with a more futuristic vibe. The 1,985 kg weight is typical for an electric sports car, but the design hides it well. The result is a car that looks aggressive, modern, and ready for attention.
Inside, the MG Cyberster feels more like a high end gaming cockpit than a traditional sports car. A triple screen display wraps around the driver, and premium materials like Alcantara and leather are everywhere. The seating position is classic sports car — low, supportive, and perfect for long drives.
Tech features include a full digital cluster, a separate touchscreen for climate controls, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and an 8 speaker Bose sound system. Comfort is covered with heated seats, dual zone climate control, and even paddle shifters for adjusting regenerative braking. There’s 249 liters of trunk space, so road trips or weekends away are easy to manage.
The top version of the MG Cyberster packs a dual motor all wheel drive setup with 503 hp and 725 Nm of torque, making it seriously quick. It sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds and can travel between 443 and 580 km on a single charge. With a 77 kWh battery supporting 150 kW fast charging, it goes from 10 to 80 percent in under 40 minutes.
On the road, the Cyberster feels more like a mini grand tourer than a track car. The ride is comfortable, the suspension soaks up bumps, and the steering is light but precise. Four driving modes let you switch between comfort and sporty responses, while Brembo brakes keep things under control with sharp stopping power.
MG didn’t cut corners on safety. The Cyberster features Level 2 ADAS, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, automatic emergency braking, and a 360 degree camera system. With four airbags, stability control, and a driver monitoring system, it covers all the basics and more.
Is it worth it? For those looking for an electric convertible that stands out, drives well, and packs tech and comfort into every detail, the MG Cyberster is an exciting new choice.
