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 $109,890 and $107,729 respectively.
Matching the MG Cyberster's standard equipment means adding extra-cost options to the Audi Q6 Sportback e-tron, and one is priced only inside a package whose price the maker doesn't publish, so the true gap is larger than the sticker difference suggests.
