The MG Cyberster has begun reaching showrooms across India, marking the countdown to what could be the country’s most exciting electric sports car launch this year.
JSW MG Motor India is finally ready to unleash its electric roadster on Indian roads, with the Cyberster arriving at select premium dealerships ahead of its July 2025 launch. Look, this isn’t just another boring EV that your uncle bought to save on petrol – it’s MG’s way of saying “hey, electric cars can actually make your heart race.” They’ve taken British heritage, mixed it with some seriously cool tech, and created something that’ll have people whipping out their phones every time you park.
Design That Screams Performance
Honestly? The Cyberster doesn’t just look fast – it looks like someone time-traveled from 2035 and forgot their ride here. Those scissor doors are basically automotive theater. You know how kids go crazy when they see a Lamborghini’s doors open upward? Same energy, but now it’s electric and probably more reliable than an Italian exotic.
The whole thing sits so low you’ll need a chiropractor’s number on speed dial, but man, does it look good doing it. Those arrow-shaped LED taillights aren’t just pretty – they’re like the car’s way of winking at everyone behind you. And that front end? It’s got this cheeky “smiling” look that somehow manages to be both friendly and menacing.
MG’s designers clearly had fun here. They kept all the classic roadster vibes we love but threw in enough futuristic touches to make it feel special. Those 20-inch wheels aren’t just for show either – they’re the kind of wheels that make parking lot security guards do double-takes.

Interior: Fighter Jet Meets Luxury Lounge
Climb inside (and yes, you literally have to climb – it’s that low) and you’ll think you’ve accidentally wandered into a Top Gun sequel. The dashboard is basically screen city – we’re talking four displays that light up like a Christmas tree. Your dad might complain about “too much technology,” but trust me, once you see everything working together, you’ll never want to go back to analog dials.
The all-red interior is either going to be your absolute favorite thing or make you feel like you’re sitting inside a tomato – there’s no middle ground here. But those electrically adjustable heated seats with memory function? Pure genius. They remember exactly how you like to sit, which is more than most people can say about their relationships.
And thank goodness MG ditched that weird yoke steering wheel from the concept. Sometimes being practical is actually the cooler choice.
Performance That’ll Pin You Back
Alright, here’s where things get properly mental. The India-spec Cyberster packs dual motors that together produce 510 horsepower and 725 Nm of torque. To put that in perspective – that’s more power than most people will ever need, want, or should probably be trusted with.
0-100 kmph in 3.2 seconds? That’s faster than your morning coffee kicks in. It’s Porsche 911 territory, except this one runs on electrons and won’t wake up the entire neighborhood when you start it at 6 AM.
The 77kWh battery gives you a claimed 443 km range, which should be enough for most weekend getaways unless you’re planning to drive to Goa and back without stopping. And when you do need to charge, the DC fast charging can get you from nearly empty to 80% in 38 minutes – just enough time to grab lunch and pretend you’re not showing off your new ride to everyone in the parking lot.
Features and Safety
MG hasn’t been stingy with the goodies. That Bose 8-speaker system means your terrible singing will sound at least marginally better, and the dual-zone climate control ensures you and your passenger can argue about the temperature like a proper couple.
The four driving modes are where you can really mess around – Comfort for when your mom’s in the car, Sport for impressing dates, Custom for when you think you know better than the engineers, and Super Sport for when you’ve clearly made some questionable life choices.
Safety-wise, they’ve thrown in everything including the kitchen sink. Multiple airbags, all the electronic nannies to keep you out of trouble, and a comprehensive ADAS package that’s basically like having a very polite co-driver who never judges your parking skills.
Price and Availability
Here’s the part where your wallet starts sweating. While MG’s keeping the official price under wraps for now, word on the street is we’re looking at around ₹80 lakh (ex-showroom). Yes, that’s serious money – the kind that makes you question whether you really need to eat out this month.
But here’s the thing – it’s still cheaper than a BMW Z4, which starts at ₹92.90 lakh and doesn’t even have scissor doors. Sometimes you’ve got to look at the bigger picture.
You can only buy this beauty through MG’s fancy Select dealerships in select cities. It’s coming in as a fully imported CBU, which explains why it costs more than your cousin’s wedding. Pre-bookings are open for ₹30,000 – basically the cost of a decent smartphone to hold your spot for automotive history.
