MG Cyberster Car Review: a powerhouse giveaway

In the past, any car that could be called a true sports performance car would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. If it came with a convertible top, the car would require even more financial strength from the buyer. Now, for just over 300,000 RMB, you can have all of the above. Not only that, it even has scissor doors! Yes, I'm talking about the MG Cyberster.

One comment on MG Cyberster: I think the design alone is worth 300,000 RMB, and the power performance looks like a gift!

Advantages:
1, the only model with a soft top convertible plus scissor door design combination

2, interior design around the driver, a strong sense of immersion

3, configuration level is good, standard with BOSE audio

4, the range of the entry model is also more than 500km

5, the seat is comfortable, strong package 

Shortcomings:
1、Entertainment screen is almost unavailable to the passenger.

2、Passengers taller than 185cm are at risk of "touching the roof".

The content of this issue is more to introduce you to the design of the vehicle as well as its configuration. Let's take a look at the price of the new car, which is available in three configurations and priced at CNY 319,800-359,800. Their main difference is in the powertrains, with the three configurations understood to be standard range rear-wheel drive, long range rear-wheel drive, and long range four-wheel drive. Of course, the entry-level model is not equipped with L2-level driver assistance system, which is more or less a pity.

Going back to the design of the vehicle, the MG Cyberster is really a car that pulls off a sporty vibe. The classic 2-door, 2-seat sports car design also has a soft-top convertible, and what's more, it has scissor doors. The MG Cyberster is the only car in the world to have a soft-top convertible with scissor doors.The Cyberster's roof can be opened or closed at speeds of up to 50km/h, with the entire switching process taking less than 10s, while the scissor doors support an adjustable opening angle of 30°~76°, and the doors will automatically hover when there is an obstacle above them to prevent bumping. And it still supports voice opening.

Apart from that, the overall shape of the vehicle is slim and low-slung, with the classic downforce design of a sports car at the front end, very much in line with what we know about a sports car. My own favorite is still the large wheels and a series of aero kits, no matter how much downforce it can bring to the vehicle and how much wind resistance it can reduce, but at least it looks handsome, and that's enough.

Getting inside the car feels slightly out of place. The extremely sporty feeling on the exterior is replaced by a sense of technology inside the car, and the driver is surrounded by a variety of screens, focusing on an immersive driving space. The car system also uses the current mainstream 8155 chip, in the smoothness is guaranteed.

One of the most annoying things in the past when driving some of the sporty types of pure electric sedans is the high seating position that makes you get very down on your head. Well in the Cyberster, this is not the case. In terms of ride, the Cyberster's seats are designed with a Y-shaped structure that provides excellent wrapping and support. The seating surfaces are also covered in large areas of leather and velvet suede for a soft and delicate touch.

For the power section, the single-motor version has a maximum power of 250kW, or 340hp. The dual-motor version is 544 hp, with a peak torque of 725 Nm, and can achieve the fastest acceleration of 3.2s for 100 kilometers. Such power performance is absolutely worthy of its sports car status. In addition, the vehicle is equipped with a front double-wishbone and rear five-link suspension, which is also a similarly sport-oriented suspension structure. According to the editors who have test-driven the new car, the car is really quite sensational to drive.

It is worth mentioning that the Cyberster is also equipped with the super performance SUPER SPORT button, press the button you will get a more extreme acceleration feeling. Also, the new ESP system can be turned off 100% of the time. This is so important, and I think it's what really separates a car from a sporty style car or a truly sporty car.

What should be the right choice for this car? I personally feel that it is enough to buy the entry model, single-motor rear-drive plus ESP can be turned off, already has a strong driving fun. 501km range for a fun attribute of the new energy car is also enough. The key is that the single-motor version of the zero hundred acceleration is only 4.9s, not much slower than the dual-motor, the overall purchase value is really high.
