MG Cyberster Verdict: At Rs 77.49 Lakh, It's the Cheapest Way to Feel Like a Supercar Owner
The MG Cyberster is not a rational purchase, and that is exactly the point. At Rs 77.49 lakh ex-showroom, it is an electric two-door convertible with scissor doors and supercar acceleration, undercutting anything else that even tries to look this theatrical. The Car Jury's position is straightforward: if you want maximum road presence per rupee in 2026, nothing else comes close.
The Car Jury verdict
The Cyberster is the cheapest way in India to park something that looks like it costs three times more. Scissor doors at sub-Rs 80 lakh did not exist as an option until MG made it one. Every Porsche 718 and BMW Z4 buyer should at least drive this before signing, because the Cyberster delivers more visual drama and straight-line shove than either, even if it cannot match their chassis polish.
Faisal Khan of FasBeam (May 14, 2026) noted that the design does not look as good as the previous concept, and that critique is fair: the front is the weak angle. But the sides and rear carry the car. Rachit Hirani of MotorOctane (May 20, 2026) made the more telling point that the Cyberster works even from the passenger seat, which matters for a car this exhibitionist; the experience is shared, not just for the driver.
Our rating is positive with one caveat: service network for a Rs 77 lakh halo EV is unproven, and resale on a niche two-seat convertible will hurt. If you treat it as a third car and an experience, BUY. If you need it to be your only car, look at MG's own Windsor EV instead. The Cyberster is a statement, and statements are not supposed to make sense.
What was announced
The MG Cyberster is on sale in India at Rs 77.49 lakh ex-showroom. It is a two-door electric convertible sportscar with scissor doors, a feature historically reserved for cars costing several crores. MG positions it as a halo product for the JSW-MG India operation, sitting well above the Hector and ZS EV in the lineup.
The car is offered in five colours: Flare Red, Nuclear Yellow, Andes Grey, Modern Beige and the more recently added Irises Cyan. The review unit was finished in Flare Red. Design is the Cyberster's primary sell, with arrow-shaped LED tail lights, sculpted rear haunches and the scissor door mechanism dominating the visual identity. The front fascia is the only design element that draws mixed reactions in early reviews.
Performance figures place it in supercar acceleration territory, with the dual-motor configuration delivering 0 to 100 kmph timings that compete with cars priced at over Rs 2 crore. It is a strict two-seater, with no rear bench, and the soft-top folds electrically. Pricing slots it well below the Porsche 718 Boxster, BMW Z4 and Audi's outgoing TT-replacements, making it the most affordable convertible sportscar with this level of theatre in the Indian market. Bookings are open through MG Select outlets, the brand's dedicated premium retail channel separated from the mainstream MG dealer network.
