Six gas trims, five hybrids and two plug-in hybrids share the 2027 Kia Sportage badge, and they run from $28,990 to $47,390 before destination. Outten Kia stocks the range in Hamburg, and the useful thing to know before shopping is that the three ladders are not the same shape: the S badge belongs to the hybrids alone, the SX and X-Pro names to the gas car alone, and nothing below X-Line wears a plug.

What follows is every configuration at its own price, what each step actually buys in hardware, and which of the three mid-range trims is the right one, because that is where the range gets genuinely confusing.

Sportage Trim-by-Trim

LX from $28,990

Cloth seating, a six-way manual driver's seat and 17-inch alloy wheels, with the full standard driver-assistance suite that every Sportage carries. The $800 LX Convenience Package is the single best-value option on this ladder: it adds the 12.3-inch navigation display, the 12.3-inch instrument display, LED headlights and daytime running lights, a smart key with remote start, the Electronic Parking Brake and front and rear parking distance warning in one line item.

EX from $30,790

Eighteen-inch alloys, SynTex artificial leather, heated front seats, a 10-way power driver's seat with two-way lumbar, the wireless charging pad with its cooling fan, and blind-spot and rear cross-traffic assistance as standard rather than optional. The $1,000 EX Panoramic Sunroof Package adds dual-zone climate, a power liftgate and the sunroof itself.

SX from $34,590

The 12.3-inch ccNC touchscreen navigation, Harman Kardon premium audio and the two-position memory driver's seat. SX is front-wheel drive only, which is the fact that catches people out: a buyer who wants this equipment with all-wheel drive is looking at X-Line or SX-Prestige AWD instead.

X-Line from $34,790

All-wheel drive as standard on 19-inch alloys, with two-tone roof treatments available. Ordered bare it has less cabin equipment than the slightly cheaper SX; the $2,500 X-Line Technology Package is what closes that gap, adding gloss black 19s, dual-zone climate, a power driver's seat, SynTex seating, heated fronts, the panoramic sunroof and the smart power liftgate.

SX-Prestige from $36,590

Ventilated front seats, an eight-way power passenger seat, and the full camera suite: Surround View Monitor with 3D view, Blind-spot View Monitor and Parking Collision Avoidance - Reverse. All-wheel drive is $1,800 more at $38,390.

X-Pro Prestige from $39,890

The SX-Prestige equipment set with all-wheel drive standard, plus 17-inch wheels wearing 235/65R17 tires. That is the smallest wheel and the tallest sidewall in the whole gas range, sitting at the top of it. It costs two mpg combined and buys the most rubber between the rim and a frost-heaved secondary road.

The Hybrids from $30,590

Hybrid LX, S, EX, X-Line and SX-Prestige. The S trim exists only here, at $31,290. Every hybrid makes 232 horsepower; the front-drive cars are rated 41 mpg combined and the all-wheel-drive cars 35.

The Plug-In Hybrids from $40,590

X-Line and X-Line Prestige, both all-wheel drive, both 268 horsepower, both with the 13.8-kWh battery and a Kia-estimated 34 miles of electric range. The step from X-Line to X-Line Prestige buys the Prestige equipment set.

Sportage Trims Side-by-Side

The three trims clustered at the middle of this range are where it needs a table, because SX at $34,590, X-Line at $34,790 and Hybrid X-Line at $35,790 sit almost on top of each other and are three genuinely different cars.

	SX $34,590	X-Line $34,790	Hybrid X-Line $35,790
Drive	Front-wheel drive	All-wheel drive	All-wheel drive
Power	187 hp	187 hp	232 hp
EPA combined	28 mpg	26 mpg	35 mpg
Navigation standard	Yes	Optional	Optional
Wheels	18-inch	19-inch	19-inch
Ground clearance	7.1 in	8.3 in	8.3 in

Put plainly: SX is the equipment answer, X-Line is the traction answer, and Hybrid X-Line is the running-cost answer. Nine mpg separates the ends of that row, which on a Reading or Allentown commute is the difference that compounds.

What Every 2027 Sportage Has in Common

Standard on all thirteen configurations, from the $28,990 LX up: Forward Collision Avoidance Fusion with car, pedestrian, cyclist detection and junction turning; Lane Following Assist; Lane Keeping Assist; Lane Departure Warning; Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go; a rearview camera with dynamic guidelines; High Line tire-pressure monitoring; and the full airbag set including rear seat-mounted side airbags.

Every one also seats five, rides a 108.5-inch wheelbase, measures 184.4 inches long, and carries a dual-level cargo floor. And every one gets the same warranty: 10 years or 100,000 miles on the powertrain, five years or 60,000 miles basic, five years or 100,000 miles against perforation, and five years or 60,000 miles of roadside assistance. All warranties and roadside assistance are limited.

Sportage Value Verdict

Three observations from the pricing sheet that are worth actual money.

The $800 LX Convenience Package moves the LX from a basic car to a well-equipped one for less than the gap between most single trim steps. It is the highest-leverage $800 in the range.

The hybrid premium at the bottom of the ladder is $1,600: $30,590 for a Hybrid LX against $28,990 for a gas LX. That buys 45 more horsepower and 13 more mpg combined. Very few powertrain upgrades hand a buyer both.

And the X-Pro Prestige at $39,890 sits above the all-wheel-drive SX-Prestige at $38,390 for the same interior. What that money buys is the tire and wheel package, not equipment, which makes it an easy call in either direction depending on the roads around Lehighton and Schuylkill Haven you actually drive.

Which 2027 Sportage Trim Is Right for You?

• Best value overall: the LX at $28,990 with the $800 Convenience Package, which adds both 12.3-inch screens and LED headlights for less than a single trim step.
• Best for a long Reading or Allentown commute: the Hybrid LX at $30,590 at 41 mpg combined, or the Hybrid EX at $32,290 for heated seats and wireless charging.
• Best all-round family pick: the Hybrid EX AWD at $33,890, which is 35 mpg combined with winter traction and the equipment most buyers want.
• Best equipped without the hybrid premium: the SX-Prestige AWD at $38,390, with ventilated seats and the 360-degree camera suite.
• Best for rough secondary roads: the X-Pro Prestige at $39,890 on 235/65R17 tires.
• Best if there is a 240-volt outlet at home: the Plug-In Hybrid X-Line at $40,590, which covers a Kia-estimated 34 miles before using fuel.
