Its low-slung body, broad rear haunches, active aerodynamic vents, and eye-catching scissor doors make sure to capture the attention of people on any road in Karachi, Lahore, or Islamabad.

Interior and Infotainment

The interior design is designed by focusing on the ultimate driver's preferences and features a modern, curved dashboard. Premium materials such as Nappa leather and Alcantara are used for the covers of the heated and power-adjustable sports seats featuring memory function and deep side bolsters to offer a secure ride during sudden turns.

Engine, Performance & Battery Range

Battery Driving Range and Charging Time

• DC Charging (150 kW): 10% – 80% charging in around 38 minutes.
• Home AC Charging: Full charging via an 11 kW wallbox at home takes around 11 hours.

Safety Features

Safety is a top priority for this high-performance roadster. The Cyberster includes an extensive suite of active and passive safety technologies:

• Airbags: 4 Airbags (front and side protection)
• Braking & Stability: ABS with EBD, Traction Control, and Hill Start Assist
• ADAS Package: Adaptive Cruise Control, Autonomous Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Blind Spot Detection
• Parking Assistance: Front and rear parking sensors paired with a 3D around-view camera system
• Driver Monitoring System: Alerts the driver if signs of fatigue or distraction are detected

Ride, Handling & Maintenance

By placing the heavy 77 kWh battery under the cabin floor, the vehicle is stabilized with a ride that handles turns with perfect, planted grip and creates minimal body roll. The system made use of double-wishbone front suspension and multi-link rear suspension by absorbing the potholes and bumps amazingly.

Maintenance Tips

1. Rotate tyres at every 10,000 km because the electronic torque due to fast acceleration may cause more tread wear on the tyres.
2. Check and lubricate the electronic scissors' door opening system after every six months.
3. Check the brake pads annually since regenerative braking does most of the braking function, hence causing minimal wear of the brake pads.
4. Ensure that the car is always updated with the latest firmware via OTA updates.

Competitor Found in the Local Market

While the MG Cyberster has a unique position in the local market as the 2-door electric convertible roadster, the customers who will purchase an electric vehicle (EV) in this price range generally consider the high-end electric cars and performance-oriented electric cars as the major competitors.

The primary competitor for the vehicle is the Audi e-tron GT, which is a luxurious 4-door electric grand tourer that can produce 637 hp and has German engineering, though it is far more expensive, starting from around PKR 5.7 crore. The second competitor in consideration is the Porsche Taycan, which offers track-derived performance along with prestige and exceptional acceleration in addition to being in the higher price category of above PKR 5-6 crore depending upon the import requirements. The car buyers who may think about competing cars fuelled with gasoline in the same price range may consider performance-oriented coupes like the BMW 7 Series Gran Coupe or a used Porsche 718 Cayman.
