Maserati Ghibli vs MG Cyberster
Verdict
The Maserati Ghibli costs RM538,800 against the MG Cyberster’s RM299,900, so the RM238,900 gap is huge. The MG is the quicker 0-100 km/h car at 5.0 seconds, gets a 77.0 kWh battery with 508 km EV range, seven-year warranty and RM395 road tax. The Ghibli answers with five seats, a 500-litre boot, 263 km/h top speed and grander executive-sedan practicality, but it uses petrol at 9.6 L/100 km and emits 223 g/km of CO2.
Pick the Maserati Ghibli if you need a five-seat executive sedan with a larger boot and a much higher top speed.
Pick the MG Cyberster if you want the cheaper, quicker-to-100 km/h electric two-seater with longer warranty cover and far lower annual road tax.
