MG Expands the Cyber Range, Launched with the Cyberster, at the Shanghai Auto Show. With a presentation set directly on the moon, SAIC unveils the MG Cyber X, a boxy and futuristic SUV with off-road capabilities designed to appeal both to off-road driving enthusiasts and to younger audiences, thanks to its strong tech focus born from a collaboration with Oppo.
Like the Cyberster and all other models from the British brand now owned by SAIC Motor, the Cyber X will debut first in China and then, later on, likely in Europe as well. MG is experiencing notable success in China: in March 2025 alone, the brand sold 10,000 vehicles, marking an 82.6% increase compared to the previous year.
MG Cyber X, a highly refined design
The Cyber X immediately stands out for its sharp lines and muscular look, enhanced by a matte black paint job that underscores its urban and futuristic character.
But the most eye-catching feature is the retractable headlights: a nostalgic nod to the sports cars of the ’80s and ’90s, reimagined with a modern twist. The lights only pop up when turned on, blending seamlessly into the bodywork when off.
The side profile is marked by darkened A and B pillars, creating a sleek floating-roof effect. The five-spoke, dual-tone silver and black alloy wheels add a sporty touch.
The cabin and connectivity system of the Cyber X were developed in collaboration with Oppo, the well-known smartphone maker that is also growing in both China and Europe. This synergy promises advanced integration between the vehicle and mobile devices, aiming for a smart, connected user experience.
MG has yet to release technical details or pricing for the Cyber X, leaving battery specs, range, and performance figures under wraps. However, considering the brand’s current direction, expectations are high for a competitively innovative and accessible SUV.
