Price Breakdown
The Mercedes-Benz eVito starts from $98,951 before on-road costs, while the MG Cyberster opens at $99,900. That makes the Mercedes-Benz eVito the more affordable entry point by $949.
Once you factor in stamp duty, registration, CTP insurance, and dealer delivery, expect to add roughly 8-12% on top of the RRP depending on your state. That puts estimated driveaway prices in the ballpark of $108,846 and $109,890 respectively.
Both models qualify for Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT) exemption, which is a significant advantage for salary-sacrificed novated leases. Depending on your tax bracket, this can save $5,000-$15,000+ per year compared to an equivalent ICE vehicle.
