The Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 is the first to launch with 754 hp, a claimed 400 miles of range, and cool features like Crab Walk from the Hummer EV.
GMC unveiled its long-anticipated Sierra EV pickup truck; it is the companion to the Chevrolet Silverado EV and the second electric vehicle from the upscale truck brand, following the Hummer EV.
GMC will soon have not one, but two electric pickup trucks when the 2024 Sierra EV arrives to complement the massive, over-the-top Hummer EV pickup. The Sierra is meant to be a more utilitarian choice, and like its gasoline stablemate, it shares much with its Chevrolet-badged sibling, the Silverado EV. Even still, the launch model is the highly luxurious Denali Edition 1, which has a 754-horsepower two-motor, all-wheel-drive powertrain, claims 400 miles of range, and will cost more than $100,000. Additional models, including the Elevation and AT4, will follow for 2025 with lower starting prices and less ambitious performance claims. The Sierra EV will be offered only as a crew cab with a 5 foot 11 inch bed.
