What fees come on top of a Kia’s price in Maryland?
Maryland adds an excise tax and title and registration fees to a Kia’s price, each set by the state’s published rates. For most vehicles the excise tax is 6.5% of the total purchase price (MDOT MVA, 2026). The dealer processing charge is capped at $800, and Maryland law requires the sales contract to label it as not required by law (Maryland General Assembly, 2026).
Every figure in this example is hypothetical. On a $40,000 Kia, the 6.5% excise tax comes to $2,600. A $200 title fee for a new or used title certificate (MDOT MVA, 2025) and a $120.50 registration fee for a car up to 3,500 pounds (MDOT MVA, 2025) sit on top of that.
Our payment calculator can run those numbers. A trade-in offer amount can be entered into it, so the figures change with the trade.

Kia of Bowie sells the K4, K5, Seltos, Sportage, Sorento, Telluride, Carnival and Niro, plus the EV3, EV6 and EV9, with hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions of several. A Queen Anne buyer compares models on the maker’s own figures for price and seating.
Kia’s own starting prices and seating, by model year:
- 2026 Sportage LX: $28,990, 5 seats
- 2027 Telluride LX: $39,190, 8 seats
- 2026 EV9 Light RWD: $54,900, 7 seats
If the choice is between the Sportage and the Telluride, seating decides much of it. The Telluride’s LX trim seats 8, and the Sportage’s seats 5.
