Verdict
The MG Cyberster costs RM86,012 more, but brings 338 hp, 475 Nm and a 5.0-second 0-100 km/h time against the MINI Aceman’s 215 hp, 330 Nm and 7.1 seconds. Its 77 kWh battery also stretches to 508 km, 102 km beyond the Aceman. The MINI is the more practical Malaysian daily driver: five doors, five seats and a 300-litre boot versus two doors, two seats and 249 litres. Its RM200 annual road tax also undercuts the MG’s RM395.
Pick the MG Cyberster if a two-seat convertible with 338 hp, 508 km range, rear-wheel drive and 144 kW DC charging matters more than rear-seat practicality.
Pick the MINI Aceman if you need five seats, five doors, a 300-litre boot and an RM86,012 lower entry price.
