JSW MG Motor India has introduced its most powerful and distinctive offering yet, the MG Cyberster, an all-electric convertible sports car launched under its premium brand channel, MG Select. Inspired by the iconic MGB Roadster and crafted for the future, the Cyberster brings together heritage styling, cutting-edge performance, and sustainable mobility in a singular package. Personalised Offers on MG Cyberster Check Offers The all-new MG Cyberster has arrived in India packing sports car-worthy performance. The Cyberster is now available for booking at an introductory price of ₹72.49 lakh (ex-showroom) for customers who had pre-reserved the model.

Bookings have been opened from July 25, through MG Select Experience Centres in 13 cities or via the company's website, with deliveries scheduled to begin from August 10, 2025. Performance Performance lies at the heart of the Cyberster's appeal. Powered by a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system, the car delivers 510 PS of power and 725 Nm of torque, propelling it from 0 to 100 kmph in just 3.2 seconds. The aerodynamic profile, marked by a best-in-class drag coefficient of 0.269 Cd, enhances efficiency and stability at high speeds. At its core is an ultra-thin 77 kWh battery pack, measuring just 110 mm in thickness, which offers an MIDC-certified range of 580 km. Design Visually, the Cyberster channels a modern take on classic roadster aesthetics. Its electric scissor doors and soft-top convertible roof make a bold statement, while elements like the signature LED headlamps, Kammback-style rear, and active aerodynamic features create a profile that is sculpted and purposeful. The front end is marked by sharp DRLs and a muscular bonnet, while the rear features a full-width LED light bar with integrated indicators. It rides on 20-inch staggered lightweight alloy wheels wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero tyres, offering both visual drama and performance assurance. The Cyberster will be offered in four expressive dual-tone colour combinations namely Flare Red with Black Roof, Nuclear Yellow with Black Roof, Andes Grey with Red Roof, and Modern Beige with Red Roof. Interior and features Inside, the cabin presents a driver-focused layout with a wraparound cockpit featuring a triple-display interface. The setup includes a 10.25-inch central touchscreen and two 7-inch digital panels, offering seamless access to vehicle data, settings, and entertainment. The interior is appointed with sustainable Dinamica suede and premium vegan leather upholstery, reflecting a commitment to conscious luxury. A BOSE audio system with noise compensation ensures a rich, immersive sound experience on the move. Comfort and control are further enhanced with dual-zone automatic climate control equipped with PM2.5 air filtration, as well as steering-mounted paddle shifters for regenerative braking and drive mode selection. Specifications Underneath, the Cyberster benefits from engineering led by former Formula 1 expert Marco Fainello. The chassis features double wishbone suspension and a balanced 50:50 weight distribution, delivering agile handling and daily drivability. Brembo 4-piston front brake callipers provide exceptional stopping power, bringing the car to a halt from 100 kmph in just 33 metres. Safety features In terms of safety, the Cyberster incorporates a high-strength H-frame structure and achieves a Static Stability Factor (SSF) of 1.83, setting a new benchmark in rollover resistance. It is also equipped with a Level 2 ADAS suite, along with a real-time Driver Monitoring System. The essential safety features are also provided such as dual front and side airbags, electronic stability control, and an electronic differential lock. Complete Ownership Package MG is offering the Cyberster with a bundled 3.3 kW portable charger, a 7.4 kW wall box charger, and standard installation at no extra cost. The roadster will be retailed through MG Select centres and will be supported by the brand's premium customer service ecosystem, including direct communication channels like the Elite Hub and a dedicated contact centre. MG is also offering a lifetime warranty on the high-voltage battery for the first owner, along with a standard 3-year/unlimited kilometre vehicle warranty. With the launch of the Cyberster, JSW MG Motor India aims to reshape the perception of electric performance in the country. 'At MG Select, we aim at curating experiences that spark emotion, inspire desire, and lead the shift towards conscious mobility,' said Anurag Mehrotra, Managing Director of JSW MG Motor India.

Hyundai Bayon is a likeable compact SUV
With bags of standard kit, a roomy interior and funky looks, it's a car with plenty to recommend it. It's also easy to drive around town or on narrow and twisty country lanes thanks to its dimensions and nimble handling. With a sharp and rugged appearance, the Bayon has a distinctive look, including a wide grille, stylish low-set headlights, and LED lightbar. The Bayon has sharp creases At the rear, the angular bodywork and full-width tail lights give the car further intrigue, while plastic cladding adds to the SUV look. The exterior design flourishes don't quite extend to the interior, which is perfectly functional and offers great usability, but you needn't look too far to find some hard, dark plastics dotted around. That said, some nicely textured surfaces on the dash and inside of the doors provide a visually-pleasing element. Standard equipment levels are excellent, with even the entry-level Advance version, priced from £23,125, coming with multi-colour ambient lighting, LED headlights and tail lights, rear parking sensors and the 10.25-inch centre screen nav and digital cluster, which is crystal clear and intuitive to use. The system is compatible with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Premium trim, priced from £24,525, brings air conditioning and climate control, front parking sensors, 17-inch alloys, privacy glass, along with heated front seats and heated steering wheel. The smart front end of the vehicle The Ultimate trim, tested here, starts from £25,925 and includes BOSE premium sound system, blind spot collision warning, smart key with engine start button, wireless charging pad, and a sunroof. Whichever trim level you opt for, the Bayon comes with the same engine – a 100hp three-cylinder turbo petrol. It's a willing enough unit, striking a nice balance between performance and fuel economy. Buyers can choose between a seven-speed dual-clutch auto gearbox or a six-speed manual, with the latter tested here. It's a slick enough box, with the light clutch pedal further enhancing ease of use. The handling is trustworthy enough, with body lean and roll well contained when cornering swiftly. The interior of the Bayon The ride is on the firm side, but that helps the driver feel more in touch with the road when progressing along B-roads, although passengers may not appreciate the fact it doesn't smooth out road imperfections particularly well. The steering is slightly on the light side, but provides enough feedback to provide a certain degree of driver engagement. The driver assist safety systems are very eager, sometimes intervening in scenarios that were under control. Depending how you view the world, such keen systems could be seen as intrusive but, equally, could save an inattentive driver from a smash. In terms of interior space, front seat occupants will have no problem getting comfortable, with the driver benefitting from a high driving position and plenty of steering wheel adjustment. Rear seat passengers also get generous headroom and decent legroom for a car in this category, although boot space – coming in at 334 litres – is a little less than some rivals. All in all, you get plenty of car for your money, with equipment levels among the highlights of this impressive all-rounder. Hyundai Bayon Ultimate ENGINE: 1-litre petrol turbo, 3-cylinder TRANSMISSION: 6-speed manual PERFORMANCE: 0-62mph in 11.3 seconds ECONOMY: 125g/km, 51.4mpg PRICE: From £25,925
