MG Goes Full Cyber at Shanghai Auto Show with trio of futuristic EVs

Quick Overview

  • MG Motor unveils three futuristic models: Cyber X concept, Cyberster 2026, and Cyberster Black Edition
  • Designed by Bugatti Veyron’s Joseph Kaban, the Cyber X bridges rugged adventurism and urban flair
  • The Cyberster now boasts fresh colours, enhanced interiors, and holds the title of the world’s best-selling electric coupe

MG Motor is turning the page and writing a new chapter—one that’s sleek, electric, and unapologetically bold. At the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show, the company pulled the covers off its new Cyber family, showcasing the Cyber X concept, the updated 2026 Cyberster, and a limited-run Cyberster Black 101st Anniversary Edition. Together, they hint at where the brand is heading—and it’s nowhere boring.

Cyber X Concept: From Racetrack to Urban Jungle

Designed by none other than Joseph Kaban—the man behind the Bugatti Veyron—the Cyber X isn’t just another EV concept. It’s a visual cocktail of sharp aggression and smooth flair. Short overhangs, a tall stance, Stardust Gray bodywork with sandstone matte finish, and yes, nostalgic pop-up headlights—all come together in a fusion of city-ready cool and wilderness-craving grit.

The Cyber X targets the “urban adventurer” set, aiming to balance MG’s sporty roots with a more lifestyle-centric identity. It’s less racetrack, more rooftop café with mountain bikes on the back.

Cyberster 2026: Return of the Rebel

MG’s Cyberster was already making waves as a spiritual successor to the legendary MG B. Now, the 2026 model takes it up a notch. With two new shades—Iris Blue and Andes Gray—and snazzy two-tone interiors, it’s clear MG wants this electric roadster to stand out even more.

More importantly, it now features a clever wind deflector that cuts cabin turbulence by 90%. So you can enjoy the open road without your hair turning into a cyclone. With 3,000+ units sold globally in just six months, the Cyberster is already the world’s top-selling electric coupe.

For those wanting more exclusivity, the Cyberster Black 101st Anniversary Edition brings black-on-black styling and chrome touches. Also teased: a hardtop Cyber GTS variant—because MG clearly isn’t done yet.

Final Thoughts

MG’s Cyber trio doesn’t whisper about the future—it yells it through a megaphone covered in LEDs. Whether you’re a fan of retro-futurism, city slicking, or just want something that doesn’t look like every other EV on the road, MG seems to be onto something here. And if the Cyberster is MG’s idea of “reinvention,” we can’t wait to see what a midlife crisis looks like in their design studio.
