Here’s a summary of what’s known in October 2025 about the MG Cyberster and the MG M9 waiting period in India:
MG Cyberster: What’s the Deal in 2025
Launch, Pricing & Positioning
- MG Motor India launched the 2025 MG Cyberster in July 2025 at an ex-showroom price of ₹74.99 lakh.
- For those who had pre-booked, MG offered a discounted rate of ₹72.49 lakh.
- The EV is sold via MG’s premium retail channel, MG Select.
- In India, MG claims the Cyberster is “India’s highest-selling sports car” (in its niche) and reports cumulative sales of 256 units since launch.
Technicals & Features
- The Cyberster is an all-electric roadster/convertible with dramatic styling elements: it features scissor doors, a long bonnet, curvaceous surfaces, and a sporty silhouette.
- Powertrain: The Indian‐spec “GT” variant packs dual motors (all-wheel drive), generating about 510 PS and 725 Nm torque.
- Performance: It claims 0–100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and a top speed of ~208 km/h.
- Range & battery: The battery pack is 77 kWh (NMC chemistry), with a claimed WLTP/MIDC/CLTC (or equivalent) range of ~443 km or more (depending on conditions).
- Interiors & tech: The car is feature-rich — multiple displays, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, ventilated seats, adaptive drive modes, LED lighting, premium audio, etc.
- Warranty: It comes with a 3-year/unlimited km vehicle warranty, plus a “lifetime battery warranty” for the first owner.
Reception & Driving Impressions
- Reviews generally praise its bold design and performance, though they mention compromises in ride feel, weight, and steering feedback in more demanding cornering situations.
- Top Gear’s long-term review noted that while it’s exciting in many respects, it isn’t necessarily a purist’s “sports car” due to dynamics trade-offs.
MG M9: The Luxury MPV Side of the Story
What is the M9
- The MG M9 is MG’s luxury electric MPV (multi-purpose vehicle), marketed as “The Presidential Limousine.”
- It is offered in a high-end, fully loaded variant (a single variant) with premium features.
- Battery & range: It uses a 90 kWh battery and claims a range of 548 km.
- Motor & performance: A front-mounted motor is rated around 242–245 PS and torque of ~350 Nm.

- Features: It offers a luxurious rear seat experience (electric sliding doors, massage, reclining seats, ambient lighting), advanced safety and ADAS, and a premium cabin.
Waiting Periods (October 2025) – What’s the Real Wait?
What Sources Report
- CarWale (in an article titled “MG Cyberster and M9 Waiting Period in October 2025 Revealed”) states that both models command a waiting period of up to four months as of October 2025.
- More broadly, several outlets mention a 3–4 month waiting period for both models, driven by strong demand and limited supply.
- Some insider/preview articles also suggest that future bookings may only be fulfilled by December 2025, implying that the queue is already stretching to the end of the year.
- A 2025 “Exclusive” piece indicates that MG dealerships foresee that all bookings received now may be delivered by December 2025, effectively implying a ~5-month lead time for late orders.
Interpreting the Wait Times
- The “3–4 months” wait is likely valid for those who booked relatively early (say, in the mid-2025 period) and are at the front of the delivery queue.
- For bookings made later (closer to end-2025), the implied waiting time might extend beyond 4 months, possibly up to December 2025 or more, as the backlog and supply constraints mount.
- The waiting period reflects a combination of strong demand, import constraints (especially for the Cyberster, which is likely imported as a CBU), and limited production or allocation to India.
Summary
- The MG Cyberster positions MG in a uniquely sporty, aspirational segment — a convertible EV with dramatic appeal, strong performance specs, and premium features.
- The MG M9 complements that by targeting luxury, space, and comfort — a high-end MPV proposition for buyers wanting more room and status rather than outright performance.
- As of October 2025, both models are enjoying robust market interest, reflected in waiting times of 3–4 months, and in some cases, bookings that may only be fulfilled by December 2025.
- If you’re considering one, it’s best to book early and manage expectations around lead times.
