Electric roadsters may be few and far between, but MG is pressing on with its drop-top EV experiment. The MG Cyberster, a fully electric roadster blending British style with Chinese engineering, is set to receive a round of updates for the 2026 model year, just two years after it first launched.

After making its first public appearance at the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show last April, the updated 2026 Cyberster is now scheduled to go on sale in China on June 30.

The exterior design stays the same, but the color palette now includes two new shades: Iris Green and Andes Gray. The former first appeared on the Cyber GTS coupe showcar, which joins the production lineup this year alongside the convertible. MG is also introducing a Cyberster Black Edition, featuring a fully blacked-out exterior paired with polished alloy wheels for contrast.

Inside, designers added two new color combinations for the upholstery – black and red or gray and white. Furthermore, there is an extra wind deflector that supposedly improves comfort when the roof is down, plus electric lumbar support for the driver and passenger seats.

Chinese media have reported that the 2026 MG Cyberster will also offer more boot space than the outgoing model. Other updates include something MG is calling a “convertible counter function”, along with new sound effects and a more responsive voice recognition system.

Powertrains appear to carry over unchanged. The roadster, along with its mechanically related coupe sibling, will continue to offer a single-motor rear-wheel-drive setup delivering 335 hp (250 kW / 340 PS), as well as a dual-motor all-wheel-drive version with 536 hp (400 kW / 544 PS).

Under the surface, expect a few key updates. Reports suggest the 2026 Cyberster will receive revised chassis tuning and an extended battery range, made possible by software enhancements. The current model comes with either a 64 kWh or 77 kWh battery pack in China, offering a CLTC-rated range of 501 to 580 km (311 to 360 miles).

Pricing for the refreshed model hasn’t been announced yet. For reference, the current version sells for between ¥319,800 and ¥365,800 (roughly $44,500 to $50,900) in the Chinese market. It’s likely that these 2026 updates will roll out to export markets, including the UK, later in the year.
