JSW MG Motor India has stormed into India’s luxury EV scene with its most ambitious launch yet—the MG Cyberster, a futuristic two‑door convertible priced at ₹72.49 lakh (ex‑showroom) for customers who pre-booked, and ₹74.99 lakh for fresh bookings
At a Glance: Performance That Thrills
Positioned as India’s most affordable 500 PS+ convertible EV, the Cyberster packs a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup delivering 510 PS and 725 Nm torque.
It rockets from 0–100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds, matching the punch of high-end supercars—yet at a price ordinary luxury-car fans can dream of . Under its sleek bodywork lies a 77 kWh battery offering a certified 580 km range under MIDC standards.
Aerodynamically refined with a 0.269 Cd drag coefficient, Brembo brakes bring the Cyberster to a standstill from 100 km/h in a mere 33 metres—a detail appreciated by performance-minded drivers.
Design, Tech & Luxury in One Package
The Cyberster is pure show-stopper material:
- Scissor-style electric doors open like a luxury supercar.
- A retractable soft-top roof delivers open-air thrill.
- Bold LED DRLs, full-width arrow-shaped light bar, and 20‑inch alloy wheels wrapped in Pirelli P‑Zero tyres give it visual panache.
Inside, a curved cockpit features a tri-display setup, comprising a 10.25-inch central touchscreen and two 7-inch digital panels for driver information.
Features include vegan leather/Dinamica suede upholstery, dual-zone climate control with PM2.5 filtration, paddle shifters, and a BOSE eight-speaker audio system for concert-level sound.
Safely equipped with Level 2 ADAS, a driver monitoring system, ESC, EDL, and four airbags, the vehicle blends safety with style.
MG Select Channels & Innovation in Retail
The Cyberster debuts under MG’s luxury brand sub‑division, “MG Select”, complementing the recently unveiled MG M9 electric MPV.
Designed for major metros—Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, and more—the MG Select showrooms will offer a curated luxury experience aligned with premium buyer expectations.
Deliveries are set to start from 10 August 2025, giving early buyers less than a month to wait.
Why It Matters to India
- Performance EV at Realistic Pricing: With 510 PS and sub‑₹1 crore pricing, Cyberster redefines what Indian enthusiasts expect from an electric roadster.
- JSW‑MG’s Strategy in Motion: MG’s broader vision is clear—sell one million EVs by 2030. Flagship models like the Cyberster are critical to shifting perception and capturing premium EV market share in India’s heavily subsidized auto sector.
- Roots in Indian Opportunities: Built through the JSW‑SAIC jointly owned venture, the Cyberster underscores JSW’s commitment to upscale EV manufacturing and premium retail in India. It signals global ambition, but is very much an Indian strategy in action.
Final Take
The Cyberster electric convertible is not just a car—it’s a statement. JSW MG is betting big that Indian buyers are ready to move beyond practical EVs into emotional, performance-driven electric mobility.
With speed, handicraft, and exclusivity packed into one exotic shape, the Cyberster may well reshape what Indians expect from luxury EVs.
In a market where most electrification focuses on compact hatchbacks and mid‑sized SUVs, this drop-top speedster is a refreshing challenge—and one that could soon become iconic.
