India-spec MG Cyberster Revealed Ahead of Upcoming Launch in January 2025
The India-spec MG Cyberster will get electrically operated scissor doors, which can open and close in five seconds with a single-touch button located on the centre console and the key fob.
The Cyberster, MG's first electric sportscar, is confirmed to launch in January 2025 in India. It will be available through JSW MG Motor India's all-new retail channel known as MG Select, making it the first premium MG to do so. The first MG Select Car is built on a born-electric platform and is already available in European markets including Italy and the UK.
Recently revealed through an officially released video clip, the India-spec electric two-door sportscar has a contemporary design that incorporates a distinctive low nose, sleek LED headlights (with Daytime Running Lamps), a contoured bonnet, and a split air intake up front. The curvaceous rear end features arrow-shaped tail lamps, while the side profile is shaped by bold lines, sharp creases, and diamond-cut alloy wheels. Rounding out the highlights are the powered scissor doors, through which owners can access a driver-focused cabin.
The scissor doors are a novelty feature and can open and close in five seconds with a single-touch button located on the centre console and the key fob. They come equipped with built-in Dual Radar sensors, ensuring protection while opening upwards or sideways. There is also an anti-pinch bounce-back feature for added safety. Dimensionally, the sportscar measures 4,533mm in length, 1,912mm in width, and 1,328mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,689mm.
