Kia Sportage Price: MSRP, Trims & Real-World Cost

Kia sells the Sportage as a compact SUV in gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid forms. Shoppers often search for the 2026 price, but the pricing available now is for the 2027 model year, and the three powertrains come from different sources, all before destination.

Because nothing in this list includes the destination charge, add it when you compare against a dealer quote or an out-the-door figure.

The gas lineup starts with the LX FWD at $28,990. Adding all-wheel drive to the LX makes it $30,790. The EX AWD is $32,590, and the SX FWD is $34,590. The X-Line AWD is $34,790, the SX-Prestige AWD is $38,390, and the X-Pro AWD is the most expensive gas version at $39,890.

The Hybrid LX FWD is $30,590. The Hybrid EX AWD is $33,890, the Hybrid X-Line AWD is $35,790, and the Hybrid SX-Prestige AWD is $40,690.

Only two plug-in versions are listed. The X-Line AWD is $40,590, and the X-Line Prestige AWD is $47,390.

Kia lists destination at $1,495 for the 2027 Sportage. Every new unit carries it as a separate line.

Look at the LX trim. Gas FWD is $28,990 and hybrid FWD is $30,590, so moving to a hybrid adds a clear amount before you consider drivetrains. At the EX level, the gas AWD is $32,590 while the hybrid AWD is $33,890.

The plug-in sits above everything else. If you charge at home and your trips are short, the plug-in can reduce fuel use. If you cannot charge easily, a regular hybrid delivers most of the convenience for less money. The EPA's fueleconomy.gov lists official fuel economy ratings, and incentives for plug-ins depend on current rules.

• LX. The cheapest way into a new Sportage.
• EX. A common middle trim, where AWD is the listed configuration for both gas and hybrid.
• SX and SX-Prestige. Higher equipment levels with matching increases in price.
• X-Line. A rugged look, with AWD, in gas, hybrid, and plug-in forms.
• X-Pro. The most expensive gas version.

Compare standard equipment on Kia's site before paying for extras. A cheaper trim with one added package sometimes beats the next trim up.

Front-wheel drive keeps the price down and suits mild climates. All-wheel drive helps in snow or on loose surfaces and is standard on many of the higher trims. On the LX, FWD is $28,990 versus $30,790 for AWD, so check the specific gap on the trim you want.

Pick the gas model if you want the lowest sticker and simple ownership. Pick the hybrid if you drive enough miles that fuel savings could offset the higher price. Pick the plug-in only if you can charge at home or work, because without regular charging you pay for a battery you rarely use. Test drive at least two powertrains back to back, since the driving feel differs more than the spec sheet suggests.

The final price includes destination, taxes, registration, dealer documentation fees, and any accessories or dealer-installed add-ons. Dealers may charge above MSRP when supply is limited. Ask each dealer for an itemized written quote, and compare them line by line.

Insurance varies by ZIP code, record, and trim. Fuel use depends on powertrain. Ask what the factory warranty covers and which service intervals apply. Plug-in owners should also think about home charging setup.

Payments depend on credit, down payment, loan term, and rate. Kia sometimes advertises finance or lease offers on selected trims. Compare with a pre-approved loan from a bank or credit union. For personal financial advice, consult a licensed professional.
