If it feels just like the GMC Sierra EV simply hit the market, that is as a result of, properly, it did. GMC’s entry into the electrical truck wars debuted this summer season as a 2024 mannequin. However the 2025 model is already on its means, and it brings some attractive upgrades over “final 12 months’s” Sierra EV—and a less expensive value of admission as well.
GMC right now introduced that the 2025 Sierra EV Denali will provide a base model with 390 miles of vary, and a Max Vary variant with as much as 460 miles of vary. Each figures are Normal Motors’ estimates and never ones from the EPA, however these are coming quickly, and there is little purpose to doubt that the Sierra EV will likely be a spread monster.Â
In spite of everything, the 2024 Sierra EV Denali Version 1 that I examined in Detroit simply two months in the past was GMC-estimated to max out at 440 miles of vary. Together with vacation spot charges, that truck got here in at $99,495, together with vacation spot charges.

Now, the bottom GMC Sierra EV Denali begins at $91,995, whereas the Max Vary model begins at $100,495 (each together with $2,095 vacation spot charges.) In comparison with the 2024 Version 1, that is a small value to pay for an additional 20 miles of vary, whereas the bottom mannequin is a much more compelling proposition.Â
Little else appears to have modified from 2024. It is nonetheless a 200+ kWh (estimated) lithium-ion Ultium battery pack with quick charging speeds as much as 350kW, providing as much as 100 miles of vary in roughly 10 minutes. The truck’s max towing is rated at 10,500 kilos.
With this transfer, GM’s electrical truck lineup is trying much more fleshed out. Simply final week, GM introduced the Chevy Silverado EV—a downmarket model of the fancier Sierra EV—will begin at $57,095. That truck’s Prolonged Vary LT mannequin with 408 miles of vary begins at $75,195. All instructed, the Silverado EV is now a way more promising possibility than the RST First Version I examined earlier this 12 months, which was an eyebrow-raising $96,000.Â
The GMC tackle this similar truck is far quieter and convincingly extra premium total. Whereas a “base” value of $91,995 means it is no bargain-basement work truck, I do really feel such as you get lots for the value right here, from vary to Tremendous Cruise-capable towing and past.Â
And in much more thrilling information, the GMC Sierra EV now is available in totally different colours in addition to the pictured Thunderstorm Grey (which continues to be my favourite):
- Summit White
- Thunderstorm Grey
- Onyx Black
- Darkish Ember Tintcoat
- Deep Ocean Metallic
- Moonlight Matte
Lastly, extra Sierra EV variants are coming in 2025, together with the Elevation and AT4 fashions, which can provide “even larger alternative and rugged off-road functionality,” GMC officers mentioned in a information launch.Â
