The JSW MG Motor is again in the headlines, and this time the reason is quite loud. The company has recently launched the tech-loaded yet most futuristic two-door electric sports car named Cyberster.
It was released at the starting price of Rs 75 lakh (ex-showroom). Ever since the model was teased in the Indian market, it has created buzz all over the internet, hooking the target audience. Even those who usually criticise EVs could not hold back and appreciated the company for making something out of the box, which looks surely ahead of its time.
Introduction
They say there are cars you drive—and then there comes some set of wheels that redefine what it means to drive. The latter statement perfectly fits the Cyberster. Last weekend, we were lucky enough to sit behind the wheel of the latest offering from the brand.
We experienced the vehicle at Asia’s one of the largest race tracks, Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida. And let’s tell you—this wasn’t just a test drive; it was a quantum leap into the future of sports cars.
The moment we landed at its cockpit by opening the scissor doors, we instantly felt why the price tag is worth it. In this article, we have listed the top pointers about the Cyberster, mentioning why it could be a wise decision to choose it if you are planning to get something in the same segment. Scroll down to know more.
Supercar-level performance At Decent Pricing
First things first, the battery and performance, as this is the only thing one is willing to spend this much money on. At this affordable price range, the MG Cyberster comes with a dual-motor AWD 77kWh battery pack that generates an insane power of 503 bhp and more than 720 Nm of peak torque. It is capable of doing a 0 to 100 kmph sprint in just 3.2 seconds, giving close competition to any F1 car. Sounds impressive, right?
10/10 For Aesthetics, Design And Features
The model is filled with a lot of eye-catching elements. However, there are a few that grab attention in no time, and we are talking about its scissor doors, followed convertible soft roof, complemented by a sleek, low-slung body and full LED setup at both ends.
The interior echoes a gaming‑cockpit aesthetic with three wraparound digital screens. One is used as an infotainment system, while the remaining ones allow the customers to have all the important details about the car, such as speed, driving modes, RPM, battery level, and charging capacity, among others.
The plush stitched surfaces, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and an 8-speaker Bose system put extra feathers to its cap, making it a premium brand ambience at a lower cost.
“Kitna Deti Hai”?
When talking about an electric sports car, the range comes first in the head as no one would like to sit at home due to range anxiety. The 77kWh battery setup offers a certified range of up to 580km on a single charge. It means you can enjoy extended drives without thinking about the charger all the time.
To make it more convenient, it also supports a fast-charging option that can make it 10–80 percent in around 40 minutes, using a DC charger.
Exclusive Yet Accessible Premium Ownership
The EV falls on the company’s premium range, and is sold through MG’s new “MGSelect” premium showrooms in India. The customers will be able to get luxury-brand treatment without paying a bomb. It offers flagship-level design, features and service without making a big hole in the pocket as compared to other sports cars.
Silent Is New Loud
Despite being built on an electrified platform, the model does not feel silent inside the cabin at all. It will keep you hooked with its insane acceleration without waking up your neighbours.
It offers a decent sound bar that feels like no less than a melody to the ears, and gives an instant adrenaline rush as well. This makes it a serene yet thrilling convertible drive experience unlike any petrol sports car.
Final Word
The MG Cyberster is not just any random sports car—it’s truly a game changer in the segment. After experiencing it firsthand at Buddh International Circuit, we can say it confidently say that it is a package that delivers supercar-level performance, jaw-dropping design, and future-forward tech at a good price range.
The model is not trying to imitate tradition—it’s rewriting it in a unique style. If you are ready to trade noise for nuance, and nostalgia for next-gen thrills, the Cyberster could be a wise choice for you. It is smart, bold, aesthetic and ahead of its time.
