JSW MG Motor India is all set to launch the MG Cyberster electric sports car in the Indian market in January 2025. The Cyberster will be the first product under the new ‘MG Select’ sub-brand which was announced recently. MG Select outlets will specialise in new energy vehicles (NEVs), including hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and fully electric vehicles. The outlets will feature both sales and service facilities and will present a new, distinct identity through their dealership aesthetic and communication materials.
The MG Cyberster, first unveiled in 2021 and showcased at the 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed, is built on a new platform derived from the 2017 E-Motion coupe concept. The EV features sleek LED headlights with DRLs, a sculpted bonnet, and a split air intake. At the rear, it has arrow-shaped tail lights and a split diffuser. The Cyberster’s side profile includes sharp cuts and creases, with diamond-cut alloy wheels ranging from 19 to 20 inches. It also features unique scissor doors. The vehicle measures 4,533 mm in length, 1,912 mm in width, 1,328 mm in height, and has a 2,689 mm wheelbase.
Inside, the car offers three screens, including a vertically stacked infotainment system angled towards the driver. Features include wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, in-built 5G, connected car tech, wireless charging, dual-zone climate control, ventilated seats, and a premium Bose audio system. It will also offer Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, regenerative braking, multiple airbags, Level-2 ADAS, and more.
The Cyberster is offered with two battery and motor options abroad. The entry-level model will feature a 64kWh battery and a single 308 hp rear axle-mounted electric motor, offering a range of 520 km. The higher variant will have a 77kWh battery, dual motors producing 535 hp and 725Nm of torque, a range of 580 km, and can accelerate from 0-100 kph in 3.2 seconds. There is still no info on which variant will be bought to India. However, we expect the brand will bring in the top-of-the-line dual motor variant with 77 kWh battery pack. The e-sports car is expected to be bought to India via CBU (completely built up) route and prices are expected to begin from Rs 70 lakh (ex-showroom).
