Overview
The MG Cyberster is an electric sedan with 2 seats, a 77 kWh battery and a quoted WLTP range of 385 km. On paper it suits drivers who want a straightforward everyday electric car. Prices start at around A$112,750, with leases quoted from about A$1250 a month.
Its headline specification point is straightforward: electric roadster with scissor doors. The sections below break the published figures down and set them against the other electric cars in our Australian database.
Design & practicality
Bodystyle is a sedan with 2 seats and 249 litres of boot space. Against every EV in the database that puts it among the weakest for outright carrying capacity, and among the weakest among other sedans.
Boot space volume is modest, so this is a car best suited to one or two people and light loads.
Range & charging
The quoted WLTP range is 385 km from 77 kWh of usable-plus-buffer capacity — below average in the database for distance between charges. Real-world figures are typically 10–25% lower in cold weather and at sustained highway speeds.
That is a big-battery setup with solid rapid-charging speeds. As with any EV, the running-cost picture depends far more on whether you can charge at home overnight than on the charging speed itself.
Performance
The published 0–100 km/h time is 3.2 seconds, which puts it among the very best for acceleration here and makes it seriously fast by the numbers. Electric drivetrains deliver that pull instantly from a standstill, so town-speed responses tend to feel stronger than the figure suggests.
Tech & features
We score cabin technology at 8/10 based on published equipment levels, which is below average across the database. The specification highlight is that electric roadster with scissor doors.
Expect a large central screen, over-the-air updates and driver assistance as standard on most trims.
Price & value
New prices run from A$112,750 to A$133,250, with three-year-old used examples from around A$98,400 and leases quoted from A$1250 a month. That sits at the upper-middle of the electric cars in this database, and the middle of the sedans specifically.
Our value score, which weighs the price against range, space and equipment, is 6/10. Whether it works out cheaper than your current car depends on your distance, fuel price and charging setup — the cost calculator does that maths properly.
Pros & cons
Generated from how this car scores against every other EV in our database on range, price, space, performance, tech and value.
