MG Cyberster FAQs

With a claimed 0-100kph time of 3.2 seconds, the MG Cyberster is faster than a BMW Z4 M40i. Moreover, the two electric motors of the fully electric Cyberster produce 510hp, which is 170hp more than what the Z4’s 3.0-litre six-cylinder turbo-petrol engine manages.
 

The MG Cyberster gets a perfect 50:50 weight distribution, an AWD system, grippy Pirelli tyres and Brembo brakes with good stopping power. However, given its hefty 1,985kg kerb weight, penchant for understeering when cornered hard and the lack of brake pedal feel, make the Cyberster feel more like a sporty grand tourer rather than a sharp-handling sports car.
 

Before stepping inside, the MG Cyberster’s scissor doors already elevate the sense of sportiness. Once in the cabin, the wraparound dashboard design, driver-centric orientation of various switchgear and digital screens, matching suede and leather upholstery, red ‘Super Sport’ button on the steering wheel, and metallic trim bits look convincingly sporty.
 

During our time testing it, we were impressed with the quality of materials and the fit-finish of the MG Cyberster’s interior. Not only were the sports seats good to look at, they were also well-upholstered and comfortable. While the boot is reasonably sized for a two-door convertible, there’s no frunk, and there aren’t many storage solutions in the cabin either.
 

Instead of the hassle-free and clean wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the MG Cyberster uses a wired connection. The electric sports car also misses out on wireless phone charging, something that’s becoming common on cars much less than half its price.

The all-wheel drive version of the MG Cyberster, with its 77kWh battery pack, has a claimed range of 580km. While we are yet to conduct a real-world range test of this two-seater sports car, it should be capable of going around 400km before needing to be charged. Of course, the actual range will depend on your driving style.
 

The MG Cyberster supports DC fast-charging of 144kW, which allows its battery pack to be charged from 10-80 percent in a claimed 40 minutes. This is reasonably fast, which should make driving around town and on the highways an absolute non-issue.
