THE MG CYBERSTER IS A CRAZY CHINESE EV SPORTS CAR

EV Channels Review

Doug DeMuro reviews the 2024 MG Cyberster, a fully electric Chinese sports car that aims to revive the historic MG brand. DeMuro highlights the Cyberster's numerous quirks, including its complex power-operated scissor doors with multiple opening methods and a unique key fob design commemorating an old MG land speed record car. He praises the car's attractive exterior styling and surprisingly luxurious interior, noting the high-quality materials and comfortable seating that rival European sports cars. The interior features a multi-screen setup, though many functions are China-specific. Positives include the impressive acceleration (0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds for the AWD version), dynamic handling for its weight, and a comfortable ride, especially in comfort mode. However, DeMuro points out that the steering lacks precision for a sports car, and the simulated engine sounds are overdone. Despite its appeal as a fast, good-looking, and comfortable electric cruiser, the Cyberster's DougScore of 61/100 reflects that its automatic electric nature may not appeal to traditional sports car enthusiasts seeking a weekend car experience. The reviewer concludes that the Cyberster is a surprisingly appealing and well-executed electric sports car, though its availability in North America is unlikely.
