FIRST MG CYBERSTER UK REVIEW! 503BHP GT DRIVEN & 0-60 TESTED

EV Channels Review

The MG Cyberster marks a bold return to the brand's sports car roots, offering a striking two-seat electric convertible. While the GT model tested boasts a potent 503bhp and AWD, delivering a rapid 0-60mph time of 3.62 seconds (slightly off the claimed 3.2s), its considerable weight (nearly 2 tons) means it doesn't quite match the agility of petrol rivals like the Alpine A110 or Porsche Boxster. The ride is surprisingly compliant for daily use, handling imperfections well, though a constant, subtle shimmy is noticeable. Interior quality is a significant step up for MG, with ample faux leather and suede, though the triple-screen setup, particularly the infotainment screen partially obscured by the steering wheel, is a point of contention. Practicality is reasonable for a sports car, with a decent boot. The convertible roof operates quickly. Charging at 83kW on a 160kW charger is somewhat disappointing, with a 10-80% charge taking just under 40 minutes. Official range for the GT is 276 miles. Ultimately, the Cyberster is recommended for those prioritizing an EV for environmental or tax reasons, but less so for purists seeking a raw, engaging roadster experience.
