MG Cyberster - The stunning new ELECTRIC Roadster on its way for British Summer! 😎

Рет қаралды 44,321

Ай бұрын

This new MG Cyberster is not only absolutely stunning to look at, but IT’S ELECTRIC!
Due to arrive in the UK this summer and with order books opening very soon, it’s time to get excited for one of the most spectacular cars to hit the roads in recent years.
A convertible roadster which is also a Grand Tourer will bring with it the waft of electric vehicle silence and sharp driving dynamics. As an EV you can also benefit from tax savings when buying through a business or running one as a company car plus super cheap runnings costs you wouldn’t normally see with such a performance vehicle. 10,000 miles of driving could cost as little as c.£150 in “fuel”!
Exact UK specs to be confirmed but we should see one battery, a large 77kwh pack and the. The option of either a RWD variant or a super fast 4WD option!
Electric folding roof, sensible boot space and a luxurious cabin all included along with eye catching good looks.
When it comes to EV roadsters, this stands absolutely alone in the market. It may be a Chinese funded company but the MG was designed in London and they very much want to keep the British brand alive.
Let me know what you think and if you’re tempted to order one!
Thanks for watching.

Yep. Sat in and played with it myself up at the EE show. The MG rep suggested I looked as if I wanted to drive it away. I nodded. It does look spectacular up close. I enquired about a ballpark price. Around £50-60k for lower spec. £60-70 for high spec cars. She couldn't say more. Fair enough. I think it'll sell by the truckload. Maybe a simple hardtop version as well?

good to see this for the first time, thank you. looks better in video than in pictures, price will be the key but we know MG operate at the lower end of the market so a few glitches here and there will be acceptable. nice idea of yours to play off weight and agility with battery size - I think a lot of manufacturers could do that but they are still focused on selling range due to poor infrastructure, once the latter is there i expect there will be much more battery variation.

Was impressed when I sat in this at the EE show on Saturday. Fit & finish of cabin was a massive jump up compared to the MG4. Almost can’t believe it’s the same company! Boot shallow but extended under hood area. No frunk🙁. My main concern will be price (MG guy was quoting £55k to £70k) and WEIGHT. Roadster should be light/agile which equals fun. Doors must add huge weight. Otherwise a brilliant car.

@xectia 12 күн бұрын

I saw one in Denmark, and it was quite beat up around the entrance, also on the leather. I know a lot of people are going in and out, but it didn't look too well. The rear boot also sound thin and hollow, had sharp corners you could cut yourself on, camera quality was the WORST I've seen in a car from the last 4-5 years (unacceptable), no electric boot and no frunk, which is a huge miss. I still like and want the car, but it's NOT a 55 (for large battery and rwd)-60k (for large battery and awd) pound car, which is the UK price. Should've been 43k base price, and 50k top trim price. If Porsche can make a decent convertible for a reasonable price, this will be DOA for that price. It's just too expensive for the quality and brand. I still don't know if it's made out of steel or alu, which is also a huge factor, since rust might eat it alive (depending on where you live). Overall, I was quite disappointed, and not just because of the price, but also because of the embarrassing quality. Doors are sick though.

Tesla is an American company, so the US and Canada don't put huge tariffs on Chinese built American cars, like Chinese built American iPhones, etc. The tariffs on Chinese built Chinese owned cars are insane, if not outright banned.

Technically, Polestar is Swedish and majority owned by Volvo, which is majority owned by Geely. I think that's why the Chinese companies 'partner' with Western car brands, because it gives them access to Western markets that would either be closed or have crushing tariffs. I'd love to get a Nio or Xpeng or Zeekr, or MG, etc... because of their relative value for money, but they haven't found a way to break into the North American market yet...

As a GT car, it is similar to the Mercedes SL500. Which weighs, er, almost the same as the Cyberster. EVs are simply not that much heavier than EQUIVALENT ICE cars. They are a bit but it's not as big a deal as the EV naysayers would have you believe and so many other reviewers have fallen into the trap of implying there is some huge weight differential when there really is not. That aside, the Cyberster looks great but view to the front is a concern with the top of the screen apparently so low. Only one way to find out, but not too many around to sit in and try.

Although it looks good I’d be tempted to wait and see what the Porsche electric Boxster and Cayman are like when they launch next year. While I expect they will cost quite a bit more to buy outright compared to the MG, the monthly lease/PCP cost may end up being similar. Also I do wonder whether the electric doors would get irritating if you want to get in quickly e.g. heavy rain.

At the Motorshow currently taking place here in Bangkok MG offered test drives to preorder holders and some youtube journalists. Since my wife is the actual order holder she drove the car. (they wouldn't allow me and I'm paying for it! 🙄 And,,,, it was in a large parking lot with cones. She drove it like a little old lady (which she is not 😉) She of course was quite pleased and exited. However a video done by a Thai youtuber hammered the car pretty hard in his test drive. He found the suspension a bit too soft with a bit excess body roll and wouldn't cinsider the car as a true "sports car". He believes the suspension is tuned more like a grand touring car. (Which makes sense as the car is not aimed to be a track beast). If the European journalists observe the same experience they might not be so friendly with their assessment. All other comments were were quite complimentary and the car got good marks in most other areas. But,,,, again this is in a big parking lot. A british youtuber out of China produced a few videos as he's taken delivery and he and his wife like it and are impressed but they too he admitted are fairly gentle with the car. The Cyberster "product manager" here in Thailand confirms the mid July initial deliveries and is quite helpful in providing quality information. 🤞🙏 Hope the car fulfills expectations. Oh, the feature of moving the car with the key fob in and out of tight parking spaces while not sitting in the car has been removed. He didn't say why.
