MG’s return to the Malaysian market is about much more than launching a striking all-electric roadster. It is a long-term commitment to local customers, backed by real investment in infrastructure, products, and after-sales support. As the MG Cyberster grabs attention on the road, MG is quietly building the foundations needed to sustain that excitement for years to come—through nationwide showrooms, dedicated service centres, and specialised Cyberster Garages that make ownership more reassuring and convenient. This combination of heritage, cutting-edge EV technology, and a growing on-the-ground presence positions MG as a brand that is here not just to make a statement, but to stay and grow with Malaysia’s evolving automotive landscape.​

MG, short for Morris Garages, is a British marque with a rich heritage dating back to 1924. Founded in Oxford by Cecil Kimber, MG initially built its reputation through sporty, affordable cars known for their driving enjoyment. The brand also has strong ties to motorsport, with early successes in racing helping to establish its performance credentials and enthusiastic following. Over the decades, MG’s identity as a maker of classic British sports cars became iconic worldwide. Today’s MG Cyberster carries forward this legacy by combining the marque’s traditional roadster spirit with contemporary electric vehicle technology, reflecting both its historical roots and future-focused ambitions.

The MG Cyberster sets a bold tone for electric performance roadsters, embodying decades of classic British sports car spirit while steering boldly into the future. With its world-first combination of a soft-top electric roadster body and dramatic scissor doors, the Cyberster turns heads before it even leaves the driveway. Its sleek, low-slung silhouette revives the unmistakable essence of a timeless roadster, while futuristic touches like active air intake grilles and “Storm Eye” LED headlamps establish its forward-looking character in the EV segment.​

Every exterior element of the Cyberster speaks to its performance credentials. The sculpted sides, muscular rear haunches, and retractable soft top contribute to aerodynamic efficiency as well as visual flair. Scissor doors—previously reserved for exotic supercars—give the Cyberster a powerful visual signature, making every arrival memorable. Large 19- or 20-inch alloy wheels anchor its aggressive stance, paired with prominent Brembo brakes for stopping power that matches its impressive acceleration. Arrow-shaped LED taillamps, electric frameless doors, and details like the high-mount LED brake light reinforce a consistent theme of modernity blended with tradition.​

The MG Cyberster’s design is not just for show—it’s engineered for thrill and usability. The car’s proportions, with its long wheelbase and compact overhangs, enable both athletic driving dynamics and practical cabin room. An active grille system, power-foldable wing mirrors, and a multi-link rear suspension all support precise handling and everyday comfort. With body dimensions that strike a balance between agility and highway presence, the Cyberster embodies the principle of “every angle, a statement.”​

The outcome is a fused identity: the silhouette of a classic British roadster reborn for the electric era, packed with cutting-edge features and style. The MG Cyberster stands as a statement piece—part celebration of heritage, part vision for sustainable, electrified driving—offering Malaysian enthusiasts an unrivalled entry into modern, open-top motoring.​

MG’s growing presence across Malaysia is evident through its expanding network of authorised facilities, now comprising 25 showrooms, 16 service centres, 9 body and paint centres, and 3 dedicated Cyberster Garages nationwide. This wide-reaching footprint significantly enhances accessibility for customers, making it easier for Malaysians in various regions to experience MG’s latest models firsthand and receive comprehensive after-sales support.

The strategic placement of these outlets not only caters to urban hubs but also reaches out to expanding markets in East Malaysia and other key states. This expansion aligns closely with MG’s commitment to long-term growth and sustainability in Malaysia by ensuring customer convenience, faster service, and a consistent quality ownership experience. As MG continues to broaden its physical presence, it reinforces the brand’s promise to support its customers through every phase of ownership, strengthening trust and accessibility while positioning MG as a serious and enduring player in Malaysia’s evolving automotive landscape.

​Besides the flagship Cyberster, MG also has various other models available in Malaysia, including the highly accessible MG5 sedan (NA engine), as well as multiple SUVs and crossovers like the powerful MG4 EV (my favourite besides the Cyberster!), MGS5 EV, MG ZS EV, and MG HS (NA engine). MG has some attractive year-end promotions for their ICE and EV models, so do check out their social media pages or website at https://www.mgmalaysia.com/

If you’re looking to get a CBU MG EV, you might want to do so before the (CBU EV) tax holiday ends in Malaysia on 31 December 2025.
