MG Cyberster EV: Track Test Review

India's electric car market is buzzing. And it's not just Tesla's much-anticipated entry that's energising the EV space — an influx of compelling international models is adding fresh excitement to the mix. India's EV market is heating up with international entrants like MG's Cyberster — a striking all-electric sports car boasting 510hp, AWD, and a 3.2-second 0-100kmph sprint. While its design and performance impress, does it have the soulful engagement expected from a true sports car? Among them is MG's striking Cyberster EV, showcased on multiple occasions and introduced with an aim to make a bold statement in the Indian market. The all-electric sportscar, priced at ₹75 lakh (ex-showroom), is positioned as a head-turner in both style and performance.

Here's a quick look at the car. MG Cyberster is positioned as a head-turner in both style and performance The MG Cyberster is a far cry from its spiritual predecessor, the MGB — the charming, lightweight roadster that won hearts in the '60s. This modern electric revival trades simplicity for sheer muscle: 550bhp, all-wheel drive, and a 77kWh battery pack. But amid all that power and tech, one question lingers — does it still capture the MGB's soulful spirit? How about the interiors? Inside, the MG Cyberster feels unapologetically driver-focused, with controls and screens angled towards you. Material quality and fit-finish impress, while the seats are plush and well-bolstered. The seating position is a touch high for a sportscar, thanks to the underfloor battery. The cabin houses four screens — a central driver display flanked by two touchscreens, plus another in the lower console. They're crisp and responsive, though parts of the side displays are obscured by the steering. Storage is minimal, with space behind the seats, a glovebox, a small cubby, and a decent boot — but no frunk. Inside, the MG Cyberster feels unapologetically driver-focused Equipment highlights include auto LED headlamps, Bose 8-speaker audio, dual-zone climate control, powered seats, and ambient lighting. Safety tech covers 4 airbags, 360-degree camera, traction control, TPMS, driver fatigue detection, and camera-based ADAS. MG Cyberster boasts impressive stats: 510hp of power, 725Nm of torque, a 0-100kmph sprint in just 3.2 seconds How's it to drive? The MG Cyberster boasts impressive stats: 510hp of power, 725Nm of torque, a 0-100kmph sprint in just 3.2 seconds, and a top speed of 200kmph, making it the fastest MG to date. Powered by a dual-motor setup—one on each axle—it offers all-wheel drive (though a rear-wheel-drive variant is available internationally). With 'Super Sport' mode engaged, it launched cleanly, the AWD system keeping power delivery drama-free. I got a chance to drive the Cyberster on the BIC racetrack. With 'Super Sport' mode engaged, it launched cleanly, the AWD system keeping power delivery drama-free. The Cyberster launches with silent, neck-snapping urgency — acceleration firmly in supercar territory. Yet, like many performance EVs, it's too quite. Lean on it harder and the Cyberster reveals its limits — not in speed, but in sensation. The surge of power arrives abruptly rather than in a satisfying, linear swell. The steering, while accurate, doesn't really talk back to you. But there's no denying its credentials: it's blisteringly quick in a straight line, corners with composure, and its brakes are superb — sharp, progressive, and confidence-inspiring. But for all that capability, it struggles to stir the soul. It's clinical, restrained, and just a little subtle in character for something wearing the sports car badge. The Cyberster launches with silent, neck-snapping urgency — acceleration firmly in supercar territory. The final word: The MG Cyberster ticks all the boxes for a modern electric performance car — blisteringly quick in a straight line, surefooted through corners, and dressed in head-turning, show-stopping design. Yet, for all its speed and composure, it lacks the emotional spark that defines a true sports car. It's capable, competent, and unquestionably quick, but also a little too clinical to truly connect with the driver's heart. First Published Date:

MG Cyberster vs Tesla Model Y: Two Distinct EV Paths for Indian Buyers

As India's electric vehicle market picks up pace, two globally renowned EVs have made their entrance — the MG Cyberster and Tesla Model Y. While both come with comparable price tags and high expectations, their approach to design, performance, and practicality reveals they're tailored for very different audiences. MG has priced the Cyberster between ₹ 72.49 lakh and ₹ 74.99 lakh (ex-showroom), positioning it as the country's first all-electric convertible roadster. With bold styling and performance at its core, it's clearly aimed at a niche crowd — buyers who want exclusivity, performance, and a head-turning EV. Sold via MG's upscale Select showrooms, it's more about statement than volume. Tesla, on the other hand, enters the market with a more family-friendly proposition. The Model Y starts at ₹ 59.89 lakh for the rear-wheel-drive variant, going up to ₹ 67.89 lakh for the Long Range version (ex-showroom, Mumbai). Focused on practicality, advanced technology, and everyday use, the Model Y caters to the premium SUV buyer who values space, connectivity, and convenience over flash. The Cyberster doesn't hold back on performance. With dual motors putting out 503 bhp and 725 Nm of torque, it's MG's most powerful production car to date. The 77 kWh battery has a claimed range of 580 km. It can tea hit 0-100 kmph in just 3.2 seconds. Internationally, an RWD variant with a 64 kWh battery claims up to 519 km of range. Tesla's Model Y isn't built for outright speed, but it delivers where it matters — range and charging convenience. Depending on the version, it uses either a 60 or 75 kWh battery, with claimed ranges of up to 500 km and 622 km, respectively. While its 0-100 kmph time of 5.9 seconds is modest compared to the MG, Tesla's Supercharger network ensures fast and hassle-free top-ups — with 238–267 km of range added in just 15 minutes. Visually, the Cyberster is anything but shy. It features dramatic scissor doors, a sleek low-profile convertible shape, and large 20-inch wheels. MG offers it in four eye-catching dual-tone finishes, and aerodynamics are carefully engineered with a drag coefficient of 0.269 Cd. Tesla's Model Y is far more reserved in its design. With smooth surfaces, flush door handles, and a panoramic glass roof, it leans on function over form. It borrows cues from the Model 3 sedan but brings a taller stance and added versatility with its SUV proportions. Inside the Cyberster, MG delivers a cockpit-inspired layout. There's a mix of vegan leather and suede materials, sporty paddle shifters, launch control, and multiple digital displays. It's equipped with a 10.25-inch infotainment screen, dual-zone climate control, and a premium Bose audio system. Tesla takes a different route, sticking with its familiar minimalist approach. A massive 15.4-inch central screen dominates the dashboard, paired with an 8-inch display for rear passengers. Tesla's focus is on software and seamless user interaction, backed by over-the-air updates. Notably, Full Self-Driving is available as an option at ₹ 6 lakh, but it's still not fully functional for Indian roads. MG equips the Cyberster with Level 2 ADAS, Brembo brakes, and structural elements designed for rollover protection. What really stands out is the lifetime battery warranty offered to the first owner — a strong vote of confidence in long-term performance. Tesla, meanwhile, brings its well-known Autopilot and active safety tech suite, though it still requires driver attention. Its warranty coverage follows global standards, with the option to add service plans for extended coverage.
