More About The MG Cyberster

The MG Cyberster is a 2-door electric roadster which offers a striking design which for sure turns heads. The highlight part is its scissor doors, which also make the Cyberster the most affordable offering in the country to get it. The front is adorned by petal-shaped LED headlights and a wide grille, which gives it a smiling face. It rides on 20-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, and the red brake callipers add to the sense of sportiness. At the rear, it features inverted L-shaped connected LED tail lights, along with arrow-shaped lighting elements, which make things interesting.

Inside, the Cyberster gets a fighter-jet-inspired dashboard layout highlighted by a triple-screen setup (including a 7-inch and a 10.25-inch display for the driver, along with a 7-inch touchscreen for the infotainment system). An additional screen has also been provided for climate control. The steering wheel and the sport seats are upholstered in red leatherette for a sportier appeal. There’s a separate round dial on the steering wheel for launch control, while you also get paddle shifters to adjust the levels for regenerative braking.
