MG Motor India, under the JSW MG Motor India partnership, has initiated deliveries of its all-electric Cyberster roadster to select MG Select showrooms across the country. This signals that the much-anticipated EV—a convertible known for its striking design and strong performance—is set to hit Indian roads in early July 2025.
Arrival at Dealerships
The MG Cyberster has started arriving at premium MG Select dealerships in over a dozen cities. Imported as a Completely Built Unit (CBU), these units are being dispatched ahead of an official launch, expected in the first week of July. Several showrooms have begun showcasing preview units and are offering customer walkthroughs of the vehicle.
Performance and Powertrain Options
India is expected to get both variants of the Cyberster:
- Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) version with a 64 kWh battery, producing approximately 310 bhp and 475 Nm of torque. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in about 4.9 seconds.
- All-Wheel Drive (AWD) dual-motor variant with a 77 kWh battery, generating around 510 bhp and 725 Nm of torque. It does 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds.
Range estimates are equally impressive. The RWD variant is expected to deliver around 507 km, while the AWD could offer a range between 443 to 580 km, depending on driving conditions.
Design and Technology Features
The Cyberster is built on SAIC’s Modular Scalable Platform and blends classic roadster styling with futuristic tech. Key design and interior features include:
- Electrically operated scissor doors and retractable soft top
- Full-width LED lighting and aerodynamic profile
- Driver-centric triple-screen layout with digital instrumentation
- AR-based head-up display and AI-powered voice controls
- Premium Bose audio system, wireless connectivity, and Level-2 ADAS features
The Cyberster offers a bold combination of retro-inspired looks with modern-day digital luxury, appealing to young premium buyers.
Pricing and Market Positioning
While MG Motor India has yet to confirm official pricing, market estimates suggest the Cyberster could be priced between ₹50 lakh and ₹80 lakh (ex-showroom). It will likely be India’s most affordable electric sports car, targeting a niche segment of luxury EV buyers.
Strategic Launch and Premium Showroom Experience
The introduction of the Cyberster coincides with MG’s push to strengthen its premium vehicle offerings, including the upcoming launch of the MG M9 luxury MPV. MG plans to retail the Cyberster through its exclusive network of MG Select showrooms, designed to provide a luxury experience tailored to high-end vehicle buyers.
These dealerships will offer dedicated touchpoints, digital engagement tools, and personalized consultations to elevate the ownership experience.
