It is no news that the MG Cyberster, the carmaker’s most powerful electric sportscar globally, was expected to arrive in India in 2025. But, MG has now confirmed that the Cyberster will debut in India in January 2025 and it will be available through the new MG Select premium outlets. Let us take a detailed look at everything this MG EV can get in India.

Exterior

At the front, it gets LED projector headlights with LED DRL elements and a chrome MG logo. The bumper gets a black lower grille with functional air vents to cool the battery pack and the electricals.

In profile, it gets a scissor door on either side and up to 20-inch dual-tone alloy wheels. The Cyberster also has body-coloured outside rearview mirrors (ORVMs) with integrated turn indicators.

The rear design is the most radical part of the car with arrow-shaped LED tail lights and an inverted U-shaped light bar.

Interior, Features And Safety

The international-spec MG Cyberster looks futuristic from the inside with a tri-screen setup on the dashboard, two for the driver’s display and one 7-inch unit for the touchscreen. There is another screen on the trim connecting the dashboard and the centre console, which features the AC controls.

It also has sport seats and a multi-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel with controls for audio and the driver’s displays. It also gets a round dial on the steering for launch control and has paddle shifters for the regeneration modes.

Other features include an electrically openable and foldable roof, 6-way electrically-adjustable heated seats with memory function and an 8-speaker Bose audio system. We expect a similar feature suite to be a part of the India-spec Cyberster.

In terms of safety, the India-spec Cyberster can get multiple airbags, electronic stability control (ESC) and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS). It can also borrow advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) features like lane-keep assist and active emergency braking.
