MG Cyberster vs Volvo S90
Verdict
The MG Cyberster is the indulgence buy at RM299,900, undercutting the RM370,888 Volvo S90 by RM70,988 while giving you 338 hp, rear-wheel drive and 508 km of EV range. But it is strictly a two-seat convertible with a 249-litre boot. The S90 is the grown-up daily: five seats, 500 litres of boot space, all-wheel drive and a 90 km electric range before its petrol plug-in hybrid system carries on. Performance is almost level, at 5.0 seconds versus 4.9 seconds to 100 km/h.
Pick the MG Cyberster if you want a full EV roadster with 508 km range, rear-wheel drive and two-seat drama for less money.
Pick the Volvo S90 if you need five seats, a 500-litre boot, all-wheel drive and plug-in hybrid flexibility.
