When MG first teased the Cyberster as a concept car in 2021, the electric roadster’s futuristic curves and promise of high performance turned heads. Fast forward to 2025, and the MG Cyberster has become a reality—bringing with it not only a bold new design language for the brand, but also signaling MG’s serious intentions in the EV sports car market.
A Fusion of Heritage and Futurism
MG (Morris Garages) has a storied history of crafting lightweight, affordable sports cars—icons like the MGB and MGA made spirited driving accessible to the masses. The Cyberster draws deeply from that well of heritage while looking firmly toward the future. Its long bonnet, low-slung stance, and two-seat layout echo classic British roadsters, but the sleek LED light signature, scissor doors, and aggressive rear haunches scream modern performance.
At 4.5 meters long and sitting close to the ground, the Cyberster has the silhouette of a proper sports car. The design is both sculptural and functional, with active aerodynamics, a distinctive Kammback-style rear, and minimal overhangs to improve handling. It’s eye-catching and unmistakably different from anything MG has put on the road in decades.
Electric Power With Real Performance
Underneath its dramatic bodywork, the MG Cyberster is powered by a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup in its top variant, offering approximately 536 horsepower and a 0–60 mph time of under 4 seconds. A rear-wheel-drive, single-motor variant is also available, aimed at drivers seeking a more traditional roadster feel and lower price point.
The estimated range sits at around 310–320 miles (WLTP), thanks to a 77 kWh battery pack. While those numbers aren’t groundbreaking compared to sedans and crossovers, for a performance-oriented roadster, they strike a solid balance between usability and fun.
MG has worked to keep the Cyberster relatively lightweight for an EV, using a mix of aluminum and high-strength steel to offset battery mass. This gives it agile handling and makes it feel connected to the road—a key requirement for a car wearing the MG badge.
Tech-Focused Interior
Step inside the Cyberster, and the cabin is a clear departure from MG’s current offerings. A high-tech, driver-focused cockpit greets you with a triple-screen display setup that wraps around the steering wheel, combining infotainment, telemetry, and navigation in a seamless digital environment.
The yoke-style steering wheel—reminiscent of Tesla’s controversial design—adds to the futuristic theme, although it’s likely a regular wheel will be offered in some markets. Materials are a mix of soft-touch synthetics, metal accents, and optional vegan leather, creating a space that feels premium without being excessive.
Voice control, over-the-air updates, and Level 2 driver-assistance systems round out the tech features, ensuring the Cyberster isn’t just fast, but smart and connected too.
A New Chapter for MG
Now under the ownership of Chinese automotive giant SAIC, MG has been undergoing a renaissance, especially in Europe and Asia, where its EVs and plug-in hybrids have gained traction. The Cyberster is a statement car—not a volume seller, but a halo model designed to reintroduce MG as an aspirational brand.
Pricing is expected to start around £50,000 in the UK (roughly $65,000 USD), positioning it against electric rivals like the Tesla Model 3 Performance and the upcoming electric Porsche Boxster. But MG’s competitive pricing strategy and the Cyberster’s emotional appeal could help it carve out a unique niche.
Final Thoughts
The MG Cyberster is more than just a pretty face—it’s a symbol of a brand rediscovering its soul. By combining retro-inspired design with modern EV performance and cutting-edge technology, MG has created a sports car that stands out in a market increasingly crowded with crossovers and sedans.
For driving enthusiasts longing for the return of affordable open-top fun—but without sacrificing the benefits of electrification—the Cyberster might just be the electric roadster they’ve been waiting for.
