Rank 1: Cyberster
- The convertible 2-door electric sportscar is the showstopper at the Auto Expo.
- It has scissor doors that open and close electrically.
- The soft top can also open and close with a button inside the cabin.
- With 2 motors and 4WD setup, the Cyberster can hit 0-100kmph in 3.2 seconds.
- It’ll have 500km+ range.
- Reservations for the Cyberster are open. The bookings will start in March and the deliveries will commence in April 2025.
- This car will be sold only from MG Select outlets and to maintain some exclusivity, we expect this car to cost between Rs. 85.0 and 99.0 lakh (ex-showroom).
- Since this car is a full import, it can command a high premium. However, keeping it a shade under Rs. 1.0 crore will give MG the right to call it a 1 CR car while keeping it below the psychological barrier of 1 CR.

Rank 2: M9
- The MG M9 is a luxurious electric MPV to compete against the Kia Carnival and Toyota Vellfire.
- The M9 certainly appears more luxurious in person than the Kia Carnival and it could comfortably compete with the overpriced Vellfire.
- To embarrass the overpriced Kia Carnival and capture a good chunk of their customers, we expect the M9 to cost more than the Carnival but not too high either so as to remain within the considerations of a Carnival buyer. It could cost between Rs. 70.0 and 80.0 lakh (ex-sh).
- The reservations for the M9 are also open. Bookings will formally commence in March with deliveries in April 2025.

Rank 3: Majestor
- The Majestor is another car worth a look at the Mobility Expo 2025.
- What Legender is to Fortuner, the same relationship the Majestor has with the Gloster.
- It’s likely to get the high-end, 2.0L twin turbo diesel engine with 8-speed torque converter automatic and 4WD. After all, it’s positioned above the Gloster.
- Besides the visual upgrades, we don’t expect it to get any significantly large number of features over the already-feature-loaded Gloster.
- The full price list will be announced later this year; possibly around mid-2025.
Rank 4: S5 (Next-Gen ZS EV)
- The MG booth also had the next-gen ZS EV but it was carrying a different name: S5.
- Unlike the current ZS, the S5 gets an EV-specific platform and a larger battery pack to deliver more than 500k of range.
- It will eventually go on sale in India to compete against the Tata Curvv EV, Hyundai Creta Electric, Maruti E-Vitara, MG Windsor and the Mahindra BE 6.
Rank 5: MG Midget
- The Midget is a piece of MG’s history; a small 2-door convertible car.
- The Midget is revered by vintage car enthusiasts around the world and it’s now a collectible.
- The Midget was made between 1961 and 1979.
- Now that the Indian government is no longer interested in allowing older cars to run on the road, it’s a car worth seeing at the Expo as a symbol of automotive history.
Rank 6: ZS Hybrid
- The ZS Hybrid was primarily on display to showcase MG’s breadth of expertise in various powertrains.
- While they mostly focus on electric cars in India and have a few petrol and diesel cars to cover their bases, they also have experience making hybrids and the ZS was on display to convey that.
- Another thing worth noting is that the ZS Hybrid at the MG booth was wearing a the design of the new ZS/Astor. So, it gives us an idea of what the new MG Astor might look like in the future.
- The ZS Hybrid also opens the possibility of MG bringing hybrid powertrain for the Astor.
