Which Kia Sportage trims can a Bowie, MD buyer choose from?
The maker’s trim list for the 2026 Sportage runs from the entry LX to the X-Pro Prestige, the top off-road-styled trim. It spans gas, hybrid and plug-in hybrid models, and each powertrain comes in more than one trim. At Kia of Bowie we sell new Kia models including the Sportage, Sportage Hybrid and Sportage Plug-in Hybrid.
Power rises with the hybrid trims. The gas LX and EX make 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque, the Sportage Hybrid trims make 232 horsepower and 271 lb-ft, and the Plug-in Hybrid X-Line and X-Line Prestige make 268 horsepower and 271 lb-ft, all for the 2026 model year.
How much does each Kia Sportage trim cost in Bowie, MD?
Each Sportage trim starts at the maker’s published MSRP, and the table gives that starting price by trim and powertrain. MSRP leaves out the destination charge and options, so the figure on a quote runs higher than the number shown here.
| Trim | Powertrain | Starting MSRP (2026) |
|---|---|---|
| X-Line | Gas | $34,790 |
| SX Prestige | Gas | $36,590 |
| X-Pro Prestige | Gas | $39,890 |
| LX | Hybrid | $30,490 |
| X-Line | Hybrid | Above the hybrid LX |
| SX Prestige | Hybrid | Above the hybrid X-Line |
| X-Line | Plug-in Hybrid | $40,490 |
The LX has the lowest starting price. The Plug-in Hybrid X-Line Prestige has the highest, so the top of the range is the number to budget against.
What do Maryland dealer fees add to a Sportage price?
Maryland taxes more than the sticker. The MVA’s 2026 bulletin “Taxable Price” says that, as of July 1, 2025, the excise tax for most vehicles is 6.5% of the total purchase price, and that the taxable price includes the dealer processing fee, up to $800 for Maryland dealers (MDOT MVA, Vehicle Services Division bulletin “Taxable Price”, 2026).
The same bulletin lists what may stay out of that taxable price: the dealer trade-in allowance, dealer discounts or rebates, extended warranties, mechanical repair contracts, federal excise tax and the electronic registration fee. Ask for the processing fee on its own line, and ask for the tax on the total, so you can check both against the quote.
Which Sportage trim fits which Bowie buyer?
The right trim depends on how you drive and which powertrain you want, and the EPA figures show the difference. A Bowie commuter who wants the lowest fuel use picks the hybrid in front-wheel drive, rated 41 mpg city, 44 highway and 42 combined.
A family that wants all-wheel drive has two paths. The hybrid all-wheel drive is rated 35 city, 36 highway and 35 combined, and the gas all-wheel drive is rated 24 city, 30 highway and 26 combined. Choose the drive you need first, then the trim that fits the price.
What do the Sportage Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid cost and save?
Kia of Bowie sells the Sportage Hybrid and the Sportage Plug-in Hybrid next to the gas model, each priced and rated by the maker. The 2026 starting MSRP begins at $30,490 for the hybrid trims and at $40,490 for the plug-in X-Line trims.
The EPA’s yearly fuel-cost estimate is $1,500 for the front-drive hybrid, $1,800 for the all-wheel-drive hybrid and $1,750 for the plug-in. The same estimate is $2,250 for the front-drive gas Sportage and $2,400 for the all-wheel-drive gas model. The plug-in runs 33 miles on electricity alone and carries a 470-mile total range, per the EPA record. A buyer who drives short trips most days can weigh those electric miles against the plug-in’s higher starting price.
