Mazda 6 Grand Touring vs MG Cyberster
Verdict
The MG Cyberster costs RM299,900, RM69,052 more than the RM230,848 Mazda 6 Grand Touring, and turns that into a very different brief: two seats, rear-wheel drive, 338 hp and 0-100 km/h in 5.0 seconds. The Mazda is the family-shaped choice with five seats, a 522-litre boot, 62-litre fuel tank and 218 km/h top speed. The MG counters with a 77.0 kWh battery, 508 km EV range, lower RM395 road tax and a longer seven-year warranty.
Pick the Mazda 6 Grand Touring if you need five seats, a 522-litre boot and petrol convenience more than sports-car acceleration.
Pick the MG Cyberster if you want an electric convertible with rear-wheel drive, 338 hp and a 5.0-second 0-100 km/h time.
