MG Select has pulled back the curtain on its most exclusive electric vehicles yet. The MG Cyberster Couture Edition and MG M9 Couture Edition have officially gone on sale in India, blending high fashion with high-voltage performance in a way the Indian luxury EV market hasn’t quite seen before. Born from a collaboration with celebrated Indian couturier Gaurav Gupta, these limited editions aren’t about more power or a longer range — they’re about exclusivity, craftsmanship, and owning something almost nobody else will.
If you’ve been tracking MG Select’s rise as a premium EV destination in India, this launch is worth paying close attention to.
Key Highlights
- MG Cyberster Couture Edition priced at ₹87.49 lakh (ex-showroom)
- MG M9 Couture Edition priced at ₹84.94 lakh (ex-showroom)
- Both editions carry a premium of roughly ₹4.99 lakh over standard variants
- Limited to just 50 units each, sold exclusively through MG Select
- Designed in collaboration with fashion designer Gaurav Gupta, inspired by his Serpent Infinity motif
- No mechanical changes — same batteries, motors, and performance as standard models
- Bookings opened July 20; deliveries expected to begin around August 10
What Makes the Couture Editions Different
Unlike most “special editions” that tweak alloy wheel designs or add a badge, MG has approached this collaboration as a genuine design crossover between fashion and automobiles. Both cars wear a white base finish, chosen deliberately to let Gupta’s graphic work stand out rather than compete with a bold body colour.
MG Cyberster Couture Edition
The electric roadster gets flowing orange streaks inspired by Gupta’s Serpent Infinity design language, running across the body in a way that mimics fabric drape rather than a typical automotive graphic. Dual Serpent Infinity badges sit on the bonnet, the same motif is embroidered onto the tonneau cover, and MG has swapped the usual chrome badging for gold-finished emblems front and rear.
MG M9 Couture Edition
The luxury electric MPV takes a more restrained approach with charcoal-toned graphics rather than orange. A Serpent Infinity badge appears on the front bumper, flanked by decorative brooches shaped like a mythical winged panther around the MG logo. Step inside and you’ll find a dedicated “Couture Edition” inscription on the dashboard — a small but distinct reminder of the car’s exclusivity.
Powertrain and Performance: What Stays the Same
MG has been clear that these are styling-focused editions, not performance upgrades. Here’s how the specs compare:

| Battery | 77kWh | 90kWh |
| Power | 510PS | 245PS |
| Torque | 725Nm | 350Nm |
| Drivetrain | Dual-motor AWD | Single motor, front-wheel drive |

| Price (ex-showroom) | ₹87.49 lakh | ₹84.94 lakh |
| Premium over standard | ₹4.99 lakh | ₹4.99 lakh |
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Genuinely unique design work, not just a cosmetic sticker pack
- Extreme exclusivity with only 50 units per model in India
- Retains full performance credentials of the standard Cyberster and M9
- Strong collectible value given the limited run and designer collaboration
- MG Select’s dedicated retail and ownership experience
Cons:
- Nearly ₹5 lakh premium for design changes alone, with no mechanical upgrades
- Limited colour choice — white is the only base finish offered
- Very restricted availability may frustrate interested buyers
- Resale value for such niche editions can be unpredictable in the Indian market
Should You Book One?
If you’re drawn to the Cyberster or M9 purely for the driving experience, the standard versions already deliver everything mechanically — the Couture Edition premium buys you exclusivity, not extra performance. But if you view your EV as a style statement and want something almost nobody else on Indian roads will have, the collaboration with Gaurav Gupta gives these cars a genuine design story that standard trims simply don’t offer.
Given the 50-unit cap on each model, interested buyers shouldn’t wait too long. MG Select dealerships are the only place to book, and with deliveries reportedly starting around August 10, the window to reserve a unit is narrowing fast.
