Do you know what range is quoted for both types?

Need to knock off a couple of percentage points for reality and then 20 - 25% for cold weather performance. There should be a requirement to quote both in my view but I guess the real numbers are less convincing to prospective customers.

I think the full specs are out on the 18th April at Shanghai car show when it will be revealed.

I'm pretty certain it will have heated seats and in car heater, no need to be cold

That looks amazing, now if they keep it under £50k I'm in!

Just been watching the MGevs community video & Chorley group manager Miles said the price is rumoured to start in the low £40K. The scissor doors are electrically operated.

I read that the MG Cyberstar may be named the MG MGC for the UK following on from the MG MGB.
Reading more about that "soft top" "At first glance, the Cyberster appears to have a softtop in common with all previous MG roadsters, but in reality, MG engineers have grafted material panels onto a foldable hardtop,"


The battery pack size is expected to be in the range of 70-90kWh. https://europe.autonews.com/cars-con...icle2-headline

I do think that MGC EV would be a far better name then Cyberster! Still really looking forward to finding out what they price it at and how it drives. The ride and handling on our MG4 is really, really good so if they can replicate this on the MGC / Cyberster then I'll be putting an order in.

I came across this Chinese video review of the Cyberstar the other day (English subtitles) The driving starts at 5.00 into the Vimeo vid. https://carnewschina.com/2023/04/27/...-need-to-know/
