Its connection with old British-built MGs is a stretch, but as a halo model for SAIC-era MG the Cyberster is an excellent grand tourer.
After debuting in India with the Hector in 2019, MG has comfortably established itself as a popular mass-premium brand. However, one key difference for MG in the Indian market has been the absence of its globally praised halo models. In early 2025, MG decided to change it by unveiling the luxurious M9 people mover and the spirited MG Cyberster convertible roof sportscar at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo.
MG Motor's new halo convertible is a real head-turner with a lavish interior, though it lacks the dynamic charisma of the class's better sports cars
