MG has unleashed a daring update to the Cyberster (its electric roadster) for 2026. With scissor doors, an exciting shape, and playful color combinations, the Cyberster is draped over all-new EV technology. MG is after the sporty, fun-loving spirit of a British convertible and is delivering these beloved traits for today's EV world. These updates should engage not just enthusiasts of technology, but also car lovers—while they're also hinting of bringing it soon to the U.S.
New Colors & Style That Turn Heads
MG's 2026 refresh brings Iris Green, Andes Gray and a bold Black Edition trim with gloss and matte finishes. These vibrant trims, together with the signature Union Jack tail-lights and iconic scissor doors of the Cyberster, really contributes new character to the look. It is like an expression of modern art on wheels—nostalgic but cool, classic yet fun. The Cyberster is a car you'd stop to take a picture of, which is what MG wants you to do—create a buzz.
Inside Comfort Meets Sporty Design
Get in the car and you'll first notice the cockpit's beautiful mix of colors, along with smart enhancements. You can have (2-tone) black/red (or gray/white/), and maybe the best part is a boost of electric lumbar support (which is a big plus for a sports roadster). MG has also added a useful wind deflector that smooths out airflow when cruising with the roof down, among other improvements. They've added more boot space and better voice controls too. All of this and more is not about flash; it's about a whole day's worth of driving enjoyment.
Powertrain Upgrades: RWD vs AWD Fun
Under the hood, MG packs plenty of power for enthusiasts
- RWD variant (64 kWh): 231 kW (~310 hp), 0–62 mph in 4.9 sec
- AWD (“GT”) variant (77 kWh): 400 kW (~536 hp), 0-62 in 3.2 seconds, 725 Nm of torque.
Whether you're looking for smiles-per-mile or all out street weapon performance, MG’s Cyberster now provides both, turning it from a pure weekend therapist into a daily dose of fun.
Smart Performance Touches
MG has not only improved upon just power, it has developed the overall experience. The chassis tuning makes handling much improved, and the higher-flavour model has got Brembo brakes, sport pedal feel, and a Snapdragon-powered cabin with Unreal Engine graphics abilities. The best part? The AWD version has fast 144 kW DC charging capabilities—0% to 80% in just about 38 minutes. These modifications are not just for show; they are indicative of MG’s understanding around livability and fun.
