MG Cyberster vs Lexus ES Comparison 2026: Price, Mileage, Features

Comparison overview: The MG Cyberster starts at ₹82.50 L and the Lexus ES at ₹89.99 L, a difference of ₹7.49 L ex-showroom. On-road in New Delhi that gap becomes roughly ₹8.31 L. Here is what the extra money actually buys.

Engine and performance: The MG Cyberster uses a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Electric making 503bhp and listed torque with Automatic. The Lexus ES uses a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Electric making 338bhp and listed torque with Automatic.

Mileage and running cost: These two figures are not like for like. The MG Cyberster number is for the Electric Automatic and the Lexus ES number is for the Electric Automatic, so compare the variants you are actually shortlisting.

What one gives that the other does not: The MG Cyberster adds Brake Assist, Traction Control, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), Hill Descent Control and Hill Assist. The Lexus ES adds Child Safety Locks, Side Airbag-Rear, Curtain Airbag, Anti-Theft Device and Knee Airbags. The rest of both spec sheets is shared.

Which one should you buy?

Buy the MG Cyberster if you drive mostly in the city, you want the lower running cost, and you would rather keep the ₹7.49 L for your down payment than spend it on features.

Buy the Lexus ES if you do regular highway runs, you carry luggage or a pram often, and you want Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) without waiting for the next facelift.

The one thing that settles it: MG Cyberster offers Brake Assist.

Before you sign anything:

Ex-showroom price is not what you pay. Add registration, road tax, insurance and handling, and expect the final figure to land ten to twelve percent higher. Road tax changes state to state, so a car that costs the same in two cities does not cost the same to own.

Ask the dealer four things before you book. What is the current waiting period for the variant you want. What is the on-road figure.

Then drive both cars back to back on the same day, on a road you actually use. Take your family. Put your usual luggage in the boot. Most people decide in the first ten minutes, and it is rarely for the reason they expected.
