MG Cyberster
The MG Cyberster represents a radical return to open-top sports cars for MG, launched in 2024 to celebrate the brand's centenary. Built on SAIC's Modular Scalable Platform (MSP, model code EC32), it is Britain's first mass-production all-electric roadster, offering supercar styling with dramatic motorized scissor doors and a rapid 15-second folding fabric roof. The UK lineup consists of the single-motor Trophy RWD (340PS) and the blistering dual-motor GT AWD (503PS), both sharing a 77kWh usable battery pack that supports 150kW DC rapid charging. Tipping the scales near two tonnes, the Cyberster behaves more like a luxurious grand tourer than a featherweight B-road roadster, delivering strong motorway refinement and huge straight-line pace. For UK buyers seeking open-air EV motoring with theatrical styling, it offers unmatched presence at a price that significantly undercuts forthcoming German electric rivals.

Common Faults & Reliability
These are the most common documented problems for the MG Cyberster, sorted by their typical impact and frequency.
Motorized Scissor Door Ultrasonic Obstacle Sensor False Halts
medium severityThe upward-opening scissor doors use ultrasonic proximity sensors on the door edge. Raindrops, low curbs, or tight garage walls can trigger false obstacle detections, stopping door deployment halfway.
Convertible Fabric Roof Window Header Seal Wind Whistle
low severityAt UK motorway speeds (60–70mph), the front header rail weatherseal where the fabric roof meets the windscreen frame can produce a noticeable high-pitched wind whistle if not tensioned perfectly.
Triple-Screen Driver Cockpit Software Lag & Steering Wheel Touch Glitches
low severityThe triple-display curved cockpit interface can experience frame-rate drops when running navigation simultaneously across screens, and the capacitive steering wheel buttons can register unintended inputs.
