When compared to immediate rivals, MG Cyberster is likely to be India’s most affordable Roadster with a drop-top roof and Scissor doors
JSW MG Motor India is poised to bring about a revolution in Indian automotive segment within the EV substrata. After consolidating their position as a leading mainstream EV manufacturer, MG is now bringing the big guns in the form of Cyberster 2-Door electric sports car. Ahead of Bharat Mobility Expo, details about India-spec model have been revealed.
India-Spec MG Cyberster
Over the time, India has evolved to become one of the world’s leading automotive markets. Apart from the homegrown Indian brands, there are many foreign companies who operate in Indian market now. However, these brands often don’t bring cars which Indian enthusiasts crave. JSW MG Motor India thinks otherwise.
The company is poised to launch their new 2-Door Cyberster electric sports car in India. It would be the first to launch via MG Select premium dealerships. Where pricing is concerned, there is very less clarity. However, given MG’s aggressive pricing strategies in the past, we can expect Cyberster to be priced around Rs 60 lakh to Rs 70 lakh (Ex-sh).
Since this is a performance oriented vehicle, we have to get India-spec Cyberster’s performance aspect out of the way. Underpinned by a potent chassis and a sizable 77 kWh battery pack, MG Cyberster is capable of sprinting to 100 km/h from standstill in just 3.2 seconds. This battery powers two electric motors on Cyberster on both axles for AWD layout.
Being a sports car, MG Cyberster also needs to handle like a sports car. In that regard, MG has provided Cyberster with double wishbone suspension at the front and independent multi-link suspension at the rear.
2-Door Roadster
Indian market has had Roadsters on sale for a very long time. But not at a price point that MG Cyberster is speculated to launch. Many would consider Cyberster an achingly pretty vehicle with 2-door Roadster format. The main highlight is that it has Scissor doors that open outwards and above. Lamborghini doors, as they are crudely called.
MG Motor India is expected to launch Cyberster in one fully-loaded variant with all the bells and whistles. The interior layout is modern and awe-inspiring with high quality materials expected from a vehicle of this calibre. The multi-screen layout on the dashboard, massive centre console, sporty flat-bottom steering wheel and leather upholstery are some of the notable attributes.
Other notable attributes include drop-top roof, frameless windows, full LED lighting, massive wheels, large underbody diffuser for extensive aerodynamics and more. MG Cyberster will be unveiled at Bharat Mobility Expo and a launch will happen by the end of 2025. Before that, MG is expected to launch the Mifa-9 electric MPV by FY 25.
