Which is cheaper, the Polestar 4 or the MG Cyberster?

The Polestar 4 is the cheaper of the two — it starts at $78,500 versus $99,900 for the MG Cyberster, a $21,400 difference. Prices shown are manufacturer recommended retail excluding on-road costs.

Which has the longer driving range?

The Polestar 4 has the longer WLTP-claimed range at 620 km, 68 km further than the MG Cyberster's 552 km. Real-world range typically lands 10–20% below the WLTP figure depending on speed, terrain, climate and load.

Which one charges faster on a DC fast charger?

The Polestar 4 accepts a peak DC charging rate of 200 kW versus 153 kW for the MG Cyberster.

Compatibility with 350 kW chargers depends on the vehicle's onboard architecture, not just the published peak.

Which is quicker off the line?

The MG Cyberster does 0–100 km/h in 5.0 seconds — 2.1 s quicker than the Polestar 4's 7.1 s. EV acceleration figures hold up at speed better than equivalent petrol cars because electric motors deliver peak torque instantly.

Is the Polestar 4 better value than the MG Cyberster?

On paper the Polestar 4 is $21,400 cheaper AND beats the MG Cyberster on most of the headline specs we measure — meaning by spec-sheet logic it's the stronger value play. What a spec sheet can't capture: brand prestige, dealer network depth, build feel, software polish, and likely resale.

Head-to-head

Polestar 4 vs MG Cyberster

At $78,500 the Polestar 4 undercuts the MG Cyberster by $21,400 (21%) — but does the premium deliver enough of an edge to justify itself? Here's how the two compare on price, range, charging, safety and warranty.

Option A · Coupe

Polestar 4

Polestar's mid-size coupe-SUV trades a rear window for camera-based rearward vision — a polarising design choice. The 620 km WLTP Long Range Single Motor is the volume seller; the AWD Dual Motor goes hard.

Range: 620 km
Battery: 94 kWh

Option B · Coupe

MG Cyberster

MG's electric roadster — a two-seat convertible with scissor doors, 250 kW RWD or 375 kW AWD, and a startlingly fun chassis. Genuinely novel in the Australian EV market.

From: $99,900
Range: 552 km
Battery: 77 kWh
