MG Cyberster vs Volvo ES90
Verdict
At RM299,900 against RM339,888, the MG Cyberster is the sharper indulgence: two seats, a convertible body and 5.0-second 0-100 km/h from 338 hp. The Volvo ES90 asks RM39,988 more but turns that into real daily-car substance, with five seats, 424 litres of boot space, a 92.0 kWh battery and 651 km range. Both are single-motor rear-drive EVs with the same RM395 annual road tax, so the decision is less about running tax than use case.
Pick the MG Cyberster if you want the quicker, cheaper two-seat electric convertible and can live with 249 litres of boot space.
Pick the Volvo ES90 if you need five seats, a longer 651 km range and a bigger 424-litre boot.
