Exclusive – MG Cyberster and M9 Waiting Period Revealed

JSW MG Motor India has officially opened its first MG Select showroom in Thane, Mumbai, marking a fresh chapter for the brand in India. To kick off this milestone, the automaker showcased two highly anticipated models—the all-electric MG M9 and the futuristic Cyberster convertible. Both vehicles were displayed at the new showroom, drawing significant attention from early adopters and EV enthusiasts.

While pricing is yet to be revealed, we have exclusive updates on the bookings and expected delivery timelines for these flagship electric vehicles.

Bookings

Customer response has been nothing short of overwhelming. According to internal dealership sources, MG has received an impressive number of bookings for both the M9 and Cyberster. Deliveries for early orders are expected to begin just a couple of weeks after the official launch.

But here’s the kicker: all future bookings are already backed up through December 2025. That means anyone booking now may have to wait well over a year to get their hands on either of the models.

This signals strong consumer confidence in MG’s new offerings, despite the lack of finalized pricing.

Launch Order

MG Motor will announce the pricing of the M9 before the Cyberster. The M9, an all-electric luxury MPV, is expected to enter the Indian market via the SKD (semi-knocked-down) route, allowing some degree of local assembly. In contrast, the Cyberster—a sleek, performance-focused electric convertible—will arrive in India as a full CBU (completely built unit), which could impact both availability and pricing.

This approach makes sense strategically, as the M9 is likely to appeal to families and business-class users looking for a premium people-mover, while the Cyberster targets younger, style-focused buyers or collectors looking for something truly unique on Indian roads.

Expected Prices

Although MG has yet to officially announce the prices, early indications suggest a sub-Rs. 80 lakh starting ex-showroom cost for both models. Market buzz points toward an initial pricing of around Rs. 70 lakh, depending on variant and customization options.

Here’s a quick snapshot of what to expect:

Model	Entry Route	Expected Price Range	Segment
MG M9	SKD	Around Rs. 70 lakh	Premium Electric MPV
MG Cyberster	CBU	Rs. 70–80 lakh	Electric Convertible

Note that final prices could vary based on government incentives, state EV subsidies, and any additional features offered in the India-specific versions.

Segment Impact

The M9 could reshape the luxury electric MPV space in India, offering an alternative to traditional internal combustion luxury vans. Designed with comfort in mind, its key selling point is expected to be the rear-seat experience—something MG is already promoting. In fact, a detailed review of the M9’s rear-seat features is live on MG’s official website, indicating a strong focus on chauffeur-driven comfort and tech-loaded cabin space.

Meanwhile, the Cyberster enters uncharted territory as one of the very few electric convertibles aimed at the Indian market. With its bold styling, open-top driving, and high-performance battery setup, it could carve out a niche of its own among enthusiasts willing to invest in a future-forward driving experience.

Availability

If you’re thinking of buying either of these cars, it might be wise to act fast—at least to get your name on the waiting list. Bookings are already locked till the end of 2025, and considering these are halo products, production numbers may be relatively limited to maintain exclusivity and manage import-related timelines, especially for the CBU Cyberster.

MG is also expected to roll out a premium ownership experience through its MG Select showrooms, designed to elevate the brand’s luxury positioning in India. The Thane outlet is likely to be the first of many such centers in urban hubs.
