• World-class performance figures of 503 BHP integrated with a dual-motor setup. The Cyberster can go from 0-100 km/hr in just 3.2 seconds.

• A decent real-world range of 400 km is more than enough for city commutes and short highway runs.
• Scissor doors add to the sports-car appeal and attract users on the road.
• The interiors are well laid out and are driver-oriented, which suits well for driving enthusiasts. The interiors are designed with good quality materials giving a plush feel when seated in the cabin.

MG Cyberster CONS

• The Cyberster is quite a heavy car as it weighs more than 2 tonnes which is further integrated into a softer suspension, which just makes the car quite nervous in the corners.
• It is available only with a soft-top, which is not practical for hot climates especially like India. The hard-top is not available even as an option.
