2025 MG Cyberster Review – Saucy, Scandalous, and Shockingly Fun

When MG first dangled the Cyberster in front of us like a shiny bauble at Mardi Gras, I scoffed. “Butterfly doors? A yoke? Electric and sexy? Please.” And yet here she is — an all-electric, 2-seat drop-top diva with scissor doors and scandalous curves, tearing up the Sea Cliff Bridge with more theatre than a Kylie comeback tour. And you know what? I’m in love… mostly.

Let’s get the heartbreak out of the way: the yoke is gone. Yep, that outlandish steering idea was axed for a more traditional wheel — though it still manages to block half the driver display like a theatre patron with a feathered hat. Dramatic, yes. Practical, not so much.

But drama is this car’s love language. From those absurdly fabulous scissor doors to the plush cockpit, the Cyberster is all glitter, no filler. Climbing in is part yoga, part Cirque du Soleil — and god help your side bolsters. As Max muttered, “She’s sexy, but I’d rather be in the Rangie on a dirt track.” We get it, babe — but this is no bush-basher. She’s a glam GT for sun-drenched coastlines and moonlit rendezvous.

Inside, MG’s usual budget fare has been replaced by a surprisingly lush interior. There’s Nappa leather on the wheel and Notta leather (MG, call me — that’s trademarked now) and Sport Package Alcantara elsewhere . The triple-screen setup is pure Star Trek, though Charlie swears it’s more Eurovision: “Stunning, confusing, and slightly overwhelming.” Add to that a fourth screen in the centre stack which toggles between climate and drive modes — sometimes helpfully, sometimes not.

Storage? Look, it’s a convertible, not a moving van. You get 249L in the boot (no frunk), cubbies in the doors, and a handbag-sized nook behind the seats for snacks, secrets, or regret. Door releases? Oh darling, they’re everywhere — fob, console, edges. It’s a game of hide and seek just to get in and out.

Now, let’s talk performance. With dual motors pumping out 375kW and 725Nm, this electric stunner launches from 0-100 in 3.2 seconds. With launch control. Without it? She’s more storytime than speed demon. You’ll want Sport+ activated at all times — just ask Nico, who cooed, “It’s pure theatre, and I’m here for it.” Grip is impressive, steering is firm, and regen braking is adjustable via paddle. But don’t expect Lotus agility. This gal weighs over two tonnes and corners like a glam cruise liner. Luke, ever the track boy, put it best: “It’s got guts, but you feel every kilo in the bends.”

Ride comfort is plush and composed — just right for a Sunday run through the Royal National Park, top down, glitter in your hair. The roof is clever, too — the front section is metal under fabric, offering some bird-strike insurance when parked under a flight path. And unlike the MGs of old, the rear window is glass. No shortcuts here.

Tech is abundant but temperamental. Lane keep assist has commitment issues, smart cruise dings like Grindr during Mardi Gras, and the speed sign recognition is absolutely off her face. Plugging in USB-only Apple CarPlay feels like you’re playing Twister with your rotator cuff, and Raffy’s back may never recover. “It’s like a muscle car in drag,” he smiled. “You know she’s got secrets, but you still take her home.”

With a 77kWh battery, 144kW max DC charging, and a real-world 443km of range, the Cyberster proves it’s more than a pretty face. That range is class-leading for a convertible — because, let’s be honest, there are no other electric convertibles for this money. At $115,000, she’s in a class of her own.

Still, the Cyberster isn’t perfect. The UI needs therapy, storage is sad, and the steering wheel belongs in a Gran Turismo game. But just like Princess Di (the only perfect one), her flaws make her more endearing. She’s saucy, dramatic, occasionally ridiculous — and absolutely fabulous.

What The Boys Said:

Nico: “It’s drama on wheels, darling. But MG, fix the plug-in situation or I’ll need a physio.”
Max: “She’s flashy, but give me the Rangie and a dirt track any day.”
Casper: “I needed three attempts to open the door. Still, the power makes up for it.”
Raffy: “It’s giving drag race with secrets. I love it.”
Hunter: “Marvel movie vibes, but my knees are bruised. Worth it.”
Charlie: “It’s like Eurovision in here — confusing but gorgeous.”
Alan: “No yoke? Shame. But damn, that acceleration…”
Luke: “Planted, fast, but she’s a heavy girl in the corners.”
