MG Cyberster Couture Edition: only 50 units, ₹82.49L, prices out Aug 3

Forget the endless line-up of electric SUVs. MG has just opened bookings for a two-seat convertible with upward-opening doors and a 503 bhp motor. Only 50 Indians will get one, and the full price lands on August 3, sitting at ₹82.49 lakh ex-showroom.

MG Cyberster price in India and what 'limited to 50' really means

The MG Cyberster comes as a single GT trim at ₹82.49 lakh ex-showroom (before road tax, registration and insurance, which vary by state). MG is selling it as a Couture Edition through its premium MG Select dealer network. Bookings are already open, but the final on-road figure and delivery details only come on August 3. The big catch: just 50 cars for the whole country. That makes it one of the rarest EVs MG sells here. The Couture badge adds an extra layer of exclusivity, though MG hasn't fully spelt out what the trim adds over a standard GT. Once that's clear on August 3, buyers will know exactly what the premium buys.

Design and interior: scissor doors, fabric roof, a cabin built around you

The Cyberster keeps the dramatic look that got it noticed globally. It gets upward-opening scissor doors, a folding fabric soft-top, and a low, hunkered-down stance. Nothing about it whispers. Inside, the dashboard wraps around the driver and packs in multiple screens, so the cabin feels aimed at the person behind the wheel, not passengers. But remember, this is a strict two-seater. There's no back row and very little space for the family bags you'd load for a Lonavala weekend. This is a toy first, transport second.

503 bhp, 77 kWh, 500 km claimed: real range, charging and running cost

Under the skin sits a 77 kWh battery (that's the fuel tank of an EV) driving a 503 bhp (375 kW) electric motor. That's serious pace for a roadster. MG claims over 500 km on the MIDC cycle (a government range test that always reads higher than real driving). In the real world, expect closer to 350 km, and less if you enjoy the throttle. On the highway that motor drinks charge fast; in the city you'll do better. Running cost is where an EV shines: charging at home works out to roughly ₹1-1.5 per km against ₹7-9 per km for petrol, so about 5-7 times cheaper per km. But at this price and with 50 units, nobody's buying it to save on fuel. MG hasn't detailed the DC fast-charge time or battery warranty for this edition yet; those should firm up around August 3. Note that ex-showroom price excludes the home charger and its installation.

The ₹82.49L question: a two-seat roadster or a seven-seat luxury SUV?

Here's the honest fork in the road. At ₹82.49 lakh you could buy a large three-row luxury SUV that carries your whole family and their luggage. The Cyberster carries two people and their sense of drama. There's no petrol Boxster-style rival or a similar electric convertible on sale here right now, so it stands almost alone in its corner. And forget any central cash subsidy: there's no central subsidy on electric cars in India, only state road-tax or registration waivers that differ by state (check your RTO). So the maths is simple. This is a want, not a need.

Should you buy the MG Cyberster, or wait for August 3?

If you want practicality, this car makes no sense, and that's fine. It was never meant to. The Cyberster is a pure desire buy for someone who already has a garage full of sensible cars and wants the only electric convertible you can drive off a showroom floor in India. With 50 units, the rarity alone is the pitch. My honest niggle: two seats, a small boot and real-world range under 400 km make it a weekend toy, not a daily. If you're seriously interested, wait for the August 3 pricing to see the full on-road cost and what the Couture Edition adds over a plain GT. If you value being one of only 50 owners over utility, the ₹82.49 lakh Cyberster GT is the pick, because it's the only one there is.
