2027 Kia Sportage Hybrid Trims, Compared for Western Pennsylvania

2027 Kia Sportage Hybrid trim lineup at Mike Kelly Kia

For most Western Pennsylvania buyers, we recommend the 2027 Kia Sportage Hybrid S. Its base MSRP at launch was $700 above the LX, adding heated front seats, heated mirrors and blind-spot, rear cross-traffic and safe-exit features.

All five trims share a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine and full parallel hybrid system, rated at 232 combined horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque, with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Moving up does not increase those output ratings; it changes the equipment and drivetrain choices.

Beyond the S, the base MSRP at launch increased by $1,000 for the EX, $3,500 more for the X-Line and another $4,900 for the SX Prestige. The EX adds everyday conveniences, while the two higher trims bring a standard panoramic sunroof and access to more camera and highway-assistance technology.

The Ladder and Its Steps Up

The 2027 Kia Sportage Hybrid trim ladder

MSRP at launch for the 2027 model year, excluding destination.

Trim	Starting MSRP at launch	Drivetrain	Key equipment
LX	$30,590	Front-wheel drive only	Entry trim with standard dual-zone climate control
S	$31,290	Front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive	Blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic collision avoidance, safe-exit warning, heated front seats and heated mirrors

X-Line	$35,790	All-wheel drive only	Standard panoramic sunroof and 19-inch wheels
SX Prestige	$40,690	All-wheel drive only	Full camera and highway-assistance equipment, ventilated front seats and heated rear outboard seats

MSRP at launch, starting figures for the 2027 model year.

The EX's MSRP at launch was $1,700 above the LX's, a gap that covers heated front seats, a power driver's seat, SynTex upholstery and a power liftgate, among other additions. The two remaining upgrades total $8,400, adding standard all-wheel drive, a panoramic sunroof, upgraded materials and more technology. Check our New Vehicle Specials page for current offers.

Where All-Wheel Drive Is Offered

2027 Kia Sportage Hybrid all-wheel drive

Your drivetrain preference can narrow the trim choices.

Trim	All-Wheel Drive	Terrain Modes
LX	Not offered	Not offered
S	Available	Available
EX	Available	Available
X-Line	Standard	Standard
SX Prestige	Standard	Standard

Only the S and EX offer a choice of front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The LX is front-wheel drive only; the X-Line and SX Prestige include all-wheel drive as standard. Terrain Modes follow the same availability.

The drivetrain choice also changes fuel economy, ground clearance and minimum curb weight:

Measure	Front-wheel drive	All-wheel drive
EPA city / highway / combined	40 / 42 / 41 mpg	35 / 36 / 35 mpg
Minimum ground clearance	7.1 inches	8.3 inches
Minimum curb weight	3,598 lb	3,803 lb

All-wheel drive trades 6 mpg in the combined EPA rating for drive at all four wheels and 1.2 inches of additional minimum ground clearance. That is an important comparison for drivers balancing fuel economy with hilly roads and winter conditions.

Room for Five, and What Rides Behind Them

2027 Kia Sportage Hybrid passenger and cargo space

Measurement	Every 2027 Sportage Hybrid
Seating	5 passengers in 2 rows
Rear seat	60/40 split-folding
Cargo behind the rear seat	39.5 cubic feet
Cargo with the rear seat folded	73.7 cubic feet
Legroom, front and rear	41.4 and 41.3 inches
Shoulder room, front and rear	57.5 and 55.6 inches
Hip room, front and rear	54.8 and 53.4 inches
Turning circle, curb to curb	38.6 feet
Fuel tank	13.7 gallons

These measurements are the same across all five trims. Both cargo figures assume the standard dual-level cargo floor is set to its lower position.

Seats, and the Glass Above Them

2027 Kia Sportage Hybrid seats and panoramic sunroof

Headroom depends on the panoramic sunroof, which the EX offers as optional equipment and both higher trims include as standard.

Configuration	Front headroom	Rear headroom	Trims it applies to
Without the panoramic sunroof	39.6 inches	39.1 inches	LX, S, EX
With the panoramic sunroof	37.8 inches	37.8 inches	EX, X-Line, SX Prestige

If you are a tall driver who wants standard all-wheel drive, your choices are the X-Line and SX Prestige. Both come with the panoramic sunroof, and neither is available without it. The sunroof reduces front headroom by 1.8 inches and rear headroom by 1.3 inches.

For all-wheel drive without a sunroof, choose the S or an EX without the optional roof. Only the EX lets you choose both the roof and drivetrain.

Seat materials, adjustments and heating features also vary by trim.

Seat equipment	LX	S	EX	X-Line	SX Prestige
Driver's seat	6-way manual	10-way power, 2-way lumbar	10-way power, 2-way lumbar	10-way power, 2-way lumbar	10-way power, 2-way lumbar
Seat material	Woven cloth	Woven cloth	Perforated SynTex	Premium SynTex, perforated and quilted	Perforated and quilted SynTex, 3 interior colors
Heated front seats	Not offered	Standard	Standard	Standard	Standard
Ventilated front seats	Not offered	Not offered	Not offered	Not offered	Standard
Heated rear outboard seats	Not offered	Not offered	Not offered	Not offered	Standard
Heated steering wheel	Not offered	Not offered	Not offered	Not offered	Standard
Memory driver's seat and mirrors	Not offered	Not offered	Not offered	Available	Standard

Heated front seats are standard from the S up. Ventilated front seats, heated rear outboard seats and a heated steering wheel are exclusive to the SX Prestige.

Walking Up the Range

Walking up the 2027 Kia Sportage Hybrid range

Wheel designs change with each trim, while tire sizes increase from LX to S and again from EX to X-Line. Keep the sizes below in mind when planning a second set of winter tires.

Trim	Wheels	Tire size
LX	17-inch Aero Alloy	235/65R17
S	18-inch Triangular-Spoke Alloy, black and machined	235/60R18
EX	18-inch Geometric Alloy, black and machined	235/60R18
X-Line	X-Line Exclusive 19-inch Alloy, black finish	235/55R19
SX Prestige	19-inch Alloy, black and machined	235/55R19

LX

The LX had a starting MSRP at launch of $30,590. It includes a 6-way manual driver's seat, woven cloth upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control and a tire mobility kit rather than a spare tire. The following equipment is not offered on the LX:

Heated front seats and heated mirrors
Blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic collision avoidance and safe-exit warning
A wireless charger, power liftgate, panoramic sunroof or roof rails
All-wheel drive and Terrain Modes

The S adds the heated seats, heated mirrors and three driver-assistance features, and makes all-wheel drive and Terrain Modes available.

S

The S's MSRP at launch started at $31,290, $700 above the LX. Heated front seats and heated mirrors with LED turn signals become standard, along with Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist and Safe Exit Warning. The driver's seat upgrades to a 10-way power unit with 2-way lumbar support. A temporary spare tire, Terrain Modes and all-wheel drive are available.

EX

For the EX, MSRP at launch started at $32,290, $1,000 above the S. SynTex replaces cloth upholstery, and a wireless charger, Smart Power Liftgate and temporary spare tire become standard. Vanity mirror lights and 2 USB-C ports in the front seat backs are also included, and roof rails become available.

The panoramic sunroof becomes optional on the EX, while all-wheel drive remains available rather than standard. This is the only trim that lets you choose both the roof and the drivetrain, making it a useful alternative to the X-Line when you do not need both features.

X-Line

The X-Line's MSRP at launch began at $35,790, $3,500 above the EX. It makes all-wheel drive, Terrain Modes and the panoramic sunroof standard, alongside X-Line Exclusive 19-inch wheels, High-Utility Roof Rails in Gloss Black and Premium SynTex upholstery. The available Technology Package adds power-folding mirrors, LED fog lights, a driver's seat with memory and the technology detailed below.

Choose the X-Line for that combination of equipment and styling, rather than for access to all-wheel drive alone; both the S and the EX also offer it. The X-Line is EPA rated at 35 mpg city, 36 highway and 35 combined, with no front-wheel-drive version offered.

SX Prestige

The SX Prestige had a starting MSRP at launch of $40,690, $4,900 above the X-Line. This is the largest price increase between trims. It makes the X-Line's Technology Package equipment standard, upgrades Highway Driving Assist from version 1 to version 2 and adds features unavailable on the other trims:

What the SX Prestige adds	How it differs from the X-Line
Highway Driving Assist 2	Replaces Highway Driving Assist 1 from the Technology Package
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (Enhanced) with Junction Turning/Crossing Detection and Evasive Steering Assist	Upgrades the base forward collision system
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist	Adds collision-avoidance assistance to the existing blind-spot warning
Ventilated front seats, heated rear outboard seats, a heated steering wheel	Exclusive to the SX Prestige
8-way power passenger seat, Head-Up Display, Digital Key 2.0, LED Cube Projector Headlights	Exclusive to the SX Prestige

Which Trim to Stop On

Which 2027 Kia Sportage Hybrid trim to stop on

Trim	Stop here if	Look at another trim if
LX	The lowest price is your priority and you do not need all-wheel drive	You want heated seats, blind-spot warning or all-wheel drive
S	You want heated seats and mirrors plus the added driver-assistance features for a modest price increase	You want a wireless charger, power liftgate or panoramic sunroof
EX	You want the wireless charger and power liftgate, with a choice of drivetrain and sunroof	You want navigation, camera monitors or Highway Driving Assist
X-Line	You want the gloss-black styling, 19-inch wheels, standard all-wheel drive and panoramic sunroof	You want the technology included without a package, or need the headroom of a model without a sunroof
SX Prestige	You want the full highway-assistance equipment or exclusive comfort features such as ventilated seats	An X-Line with the Technology Package has the equipment you need

For most Butler County buyers, we recommend the S. Choose a higher trim for the specific convenience, comfort or technology features you need.

The Butler Side of the Decision

On regular drives along Route 8 or toward Cranberry Township and I-79, the difference between 41 and 35 mpg combined can affect fuel costs. A front-wheel-drive S or EX is the fuel-economy choice when all-wheel drive is not a priority.

For routes across Butler County's hilly Allegheny Plateau terrain, weigh that fuel-economy difference against all-wheel drive and its additional 1.2 inches of ground clearance. Heated seats and mirrors are also useful through winter, when road salt and changing conditions are part of daily driving.

Our service department, tire center and body shop share one Butler site, so you can handle routine service, winter tires and collision repairs in one place.

Kelly Confidence includes Discounted PA State Inspections, Lifetime NitroFill Nitrogen, Lifetime Car Washes with a Service Visit, Lifetime Multi-Point Inspections, Lifetime Pit-Stop and Complimentary Shuttle. See the separate agreement for complete details.
