MG CYBERSTER: MG IS BACK, BABY!

EV Channels Review

The MG Cyberster marks MG's ambitious return to the sports car segment after a nearly 30-year hiatus, offering a unique proposition as the only soft-top EV sports car currently available. While it boasts impressive acceleration, particularly the dual-motor AWD version with 400 kW and 725 Nm of torque, achieving 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds, the reviewer notes that speed is common in the EV era and doesn't equate to driving pleasure. The steering feel is described as good for a Chinese EV, but the car's nearly two-ton weight prevents it from feeling nimble, resulting in a somewhat numb driving experience. The ride quality, however, is praised for its comfort, making it more of a convertible GT suitable for long trips than a track-focused machine. Externally, the Cyberster is visually striking, resembling a supercar, though the arrow-shaped taillights are deemed a bit goofy. The interior features a driver-focused cockpit with multiple screens, but the steering wheel obstructs the view of the side screens, suggesting a design intended for a yoke. Despite not fully capturing the 'flickable and fun' character of classic MGs, the Cyberster offers significant power, comfort, and practicality, making it a commendable and unique offering in the current market.
