From the beginning of 2025 in the Netherlands
Since the disappearance of the Tesla Roadster, there is no longer an electric open two-seater for sale in Europe that does not cost hundreds of thousands or millions. But thanks to MG it will soon be there! We get to know the electric and winged MG Cyberster up close.
The introduction of the MG Cyberster cannot even be described as a two- or three-stage rocket. Little by little, MG is releasing more information about the Cyberster, but even now it still does not share any final specifications. We now know that the MG Cyberster can be ordered in the Netherlands at the end of next year and that the first copies will be delivered in 2025.
The Cyberster started life in 2021 as an intense concept car and not long after, MG launched a crowdfunding campaign to finance the development and therefore the arrival of a production version – according to the official version. MG raised an amount that is a pittance in the car industry, but the brand probably wanted to gauge whether there would be enough interest for a production version. Apparently there was!
Thanks to previous research, we know that the MG Cyberster is 4.54 meters long, which is considerably larger than almost every other open MG from the past. In any case, it will be marketed in China as a 314 hp and 340 hp rear-wheel drive version and will even have a sporty top version with four-wheel drive and 544 hp. This allows you to reach 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds. There will be versions with a 77 kWh battery, but also with a smaller 64 kWh package. The variant with the longest range reaches up to 580 kilometers, although this is not a value determined according to the WLTP cycle.
Prices and extensive information for the Dutch market are not yet available.
More MG
The MG Cyberster is not the only news that MG has in store. It recently expanded the delivery range of the MG 4 with the Trophy Extended Range and XPower, gave the MG EHS a facelift and also announced that it would introduce four (!) new models in 2024. One of these is the Cyberster and we also know that MG is not only coming up with a competitor for cars like the Volkswagen Polo, but also has a model in the pipeline with which it wants to thwart Audi, Tesla and in particular the Model Y!
