MG Cyberster | First Look At UK Specification | Walkaround & Review | Luscombe MG Leeds

[@sevesellors2831]

Fabulous looking car and the famous MG name too even though it’s not British owned but then again what is today. Great review too.

[@LuscombeSuzukiLeeds]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@JohnGoulding-gp9tw]

Any views of what’s under the bonnet ? is the bonnet a spare storage area ?

[@LuscombeSuzukiLeeds]

It’s just plastic covers, I did take them off to see if there was space for a frunk but it’s all in use under there

[@JohnGoulding-gp9tw]

Thank you and a great video. Unfortunately I have already built and ordered a GT on 24th April from my MG dealer.

[@tartanwallpaper]

Seriously impressive car, great all round review. The interior rear view mirror looks manual, not auto-dimming? 😳

[@ImDavidJames]

Camera operator needs to move further back

[@stevemccormack9948]

Love the red interior.

[@TheMad18dog]

every shot is so zoomed in, would love the camera to be a bit further away so you can actually see something xD

[@autodigitvlogs]

They also should have added air scarf/massage seats as an option 🧣😂. Good in depth video!

[@LuscombeSuzukiLeeds]

Thanks very much. The ability to keep the price point to where they have is partially down to a simple production line, no options, no added cost. Would have been easy to make the doors a couple of grand option but I’m glad they’ve kept it simple

[@autodigitvlogs]

​@@LuscombeSuzukiLeeds its a new market ripe for modifications! Depends on how Enthusiastic owners are.

[@armandsimonis7992]

Perhaps a silly unimportant question for many but for me essential: can music be played directly from a USB drive (stick, SSD etc)?

[@LuscombeSuzukiLeeds]

Yes, it can!

[@bournvilleman]

Is there for viewing?

[@LuscombeSuzukiLeeds]

Unfortunately not, it was with us earlier this week but it’ll now be 6-8 weeks until our actual demonstration vehicles arrive

[@autodigitvlogs]

​@@LuscombeSuzukiLeeds is this a UK car?

[@bournvilleman]

Shame theu have reduced the power from what was originally stated and also changed the interior colour from full red to black and red, I dont think it looks quite right especially with the black steering wheel. Why all the changes from the ones elsewhere?

[@autodigitvlogs]

​@@bournvilleman the all red wasn't wanted by joe public in UK so they specced it differently.

[@autodigitvlogs]

It needs an extra splitter at the front or center. Thats for the modders. First of a kind since the Tesla Roadster which was pretty much exclusive. Your seats high. They should have made the dash a bit higher tbh

[@thelifeofbatteries2603]

Saw the one in Harrogate. Nice car but charges too slow. Nice to meet you Shane, you were extremely knowledgeable, unlike the Hyundai stand

[@InBodWeTrust]

Does the Cyberster GT suffer from vibrations around 65/70 mph when in AWD mode (like many MG4 XPowers do)?

[@djwarren5081]

Time to head to the configurator.

[@LuscombeSuzukiLeeds]

Feel free to give us a call on 01132776099. I can talk you through everything beyond what’s on the configurator

[@SNORKYMEDIA]

these will end up as bargains second hand

[@UCMpDwp7VEfKXRH3NyAW7kuj]

at least good-looking car

[@DillioSmithers]

How about getting out the way and letting us see it, zoom out? 😂

[@PeterPorsche]

I must say: the belt colour should match the shoes (it has nothing to do with the car presentation).

[@djwarren5081]

Tempting.

[@thezanzibarbarian5729]

Looks far to well built for a traditional MG as I used to own. So if I bought one, I'd need to buy an empty tin with a lid to put some ball bearings and nuts in it to place somewhere in the car. Just to give it that characteristic rattle that old, _REAL_ MG's had 😲 😂🤣😅 Though I'm hard pressed to think of something for a squeaking sound 🤔🤷‍♂ But a good review, if the camera work was nowhere near as good as the vocals.

[@waytosacramento3843]

Not sure if I could live with the steering wheel blocking the screens massively…

[@LuscombeSuzukiLeeds]

There’s a huge amount of adjustment in the steering wheel so I’m confident you’d find a better position

[@ianjsallen100]

Hi, Shane by the time it hits the dealers,will be restricted to 70mpa,( as of July all new cars will have the restraints and big brother black Box ,thanks to the great British government ?) taking thrill out of driving ?. Other wise nice car , good KZbin thanks

[@autodigitvlogs]

Straight to the mod shop or software update to turn off 😂.

[@anthonyjones1737]

Great looking car, terrible name. I’d be deleting that before I picked it up from the dealer….

[@LuscombeSuzukiLeeds]

Each to their own. There may well be some badge delete requests but its growing on us now

[@autodigitvlogs]

​@@LuscombeSuzukiLeeds Badge removal apparently isnt easy on MG4 according to forum. Might be easier to remove "Cyberster" than MG.

[@DolbyDogAdventures]

Nice looking car but priced to high for an MG.

[@smitabhmoitra5726]

I'm pretty sure it's priced for what the actual car is lol. Plus it's an EV.

[@LuscombeSuzukiLeeds]

It’s undoubtedly MGs flagship so commands a far higher price than others in the range. But just take a look at it… This could conceivably command a much higher price given the quality of the components (Bose speakers, Brembo brakes, Pirelli tyres etc)

[@peterlewis3540]

What a beautiful looking car, but it was a huge mistake making it all electric, with all the limitations associated with just batteries alone. Now if it was a hybrid vehicle, with a powerful V6 engine and small capacity battery, for shorter journeys, around town, then i would have been a customer. It weighs close to two tons, so will have a limited range, and is up against far more desirable vehicles. Too expensive, too heavy, and will have crippling depreciation, so im not in the market for one.

[@NasNiu]

Maybe we can swap the V8 engine😂

[@terryosborn]

Great looking MG but let’s get real about range, 270 miles not. You wouldn’t want to go below 10% remaining and you are asked to charge to 80% to maximise battery life so that’s 200 miles in Summer, in Winter, 160 if you are lucky. When will manufacturers tell us the truth? Almost as bad as politicians!😊

[@HangingShoes]

You go to 80% for speed of charging. The last 20% is usually slow. If you're not in a hurry or charging at home then you can change to 100%. There is a buffer to protect the battery so you're not really charging to 100%

[@daveevans2389]

Sorry , milage too short,.. Some electric bikes go further...had an origanal mgb, brill.., then bought a Boxter, which was the 🐝 knees

[@uselessoldman7964]

Sadly the days of electric cars has passed no one is buying them due to the cost of replacing batteries so come back when they put a proper engine in it

[@thelifeofbatteries2603]

Stop spouting rubbish

[@pohmoh3590]

Battery costs are coming down. By the time you need to replace battery cost will come down by more than 50% 😂

[@odinikita4821]

Nice looking but because it's an EV it will be boring to drive

[@DillioSmithers]

60k are you having a laugh?

@@use-oc4mj6n stupidest comment ever

[@smxlad]

Made by the Chinese China bought the company years ago and the quality just isn’t there I’m afraid

[@LuscombeSuzukiLeeds]

I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised

[@mr-w4812]

You sound like some older generation grandpa or something lol Such a generalisation. Some of the best tech in the world is made by Chinese factories. Made in Britain sadly doesn't not have the same cachet or quality it once had.

[@hermesliteratus882]

@@mr-w4812 To make it even worse, absolutely nothing is being made in the UK these days.

[@paratracker]

I would argue quality is improved.

[@atlantikav5902]

Nonsense, I test drove the new MG GT and the quality for £60K is superb and that’s from an owner of a £130K Porsche 911 992 Cabriolet.

[@Mr123barney]

Great looking car....but needs to be offered with a petrol engine, EV cars are swictly going out of fashion because people realise what a con they are. This car WILL fail , simple as that

[@SNORKYMEDIA]

that'll be why the tesla MY was the 5th best selling car last year

[@paratracker]

Too bad he's not offering an objective review. How about how the AWD version handles worse than the RWD version? How about its lengthy charging times?

[@LuscombeSuzukiLeeds]

@@paratracker Given I’ve only had my hands on the AWD (and haven’t driven it properly), I couldn’t possibly comment. And lengthy is all relative. 140+kw isn’t going win any awards, but it’s perfectly acceptable given the volume of chargers capable of charging at more than 150kw

[@paratracker]

@@LuscombeSuzukiLeedsRight now, I'm leaning next generation Zeekr 001 FR for its 800V architecture (which improves both charging times and torque on tap), 5-door 'hatchback' practically, generally better materials, performance, & value. Sorry.
