The MG Cyberster starts from $99,900 before on-road costs, while the Mercedes-Benz eVito opens at $98,951. 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 $109,890 and $108,846 respectively.
