The first-ever Sierra EV marks a turning point for GMC, as it expands its portfolio of EV trucks.

Joining the GMC HUMMER EV Pickup and SUV the 2024 Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 will ride on the same Ultium Platform while offering traditional pickup capabilities, enhanced hauling and towing capacities, and a 400-mile range on a full charge. The 400-mile mark is considered the sweet spot for EV usage both on- and off-road and as more auto makers hit this threshold. We’ll be seeing more and more of these vehicles on the trails.

From the HUMMER EV supertruck to the first-ever Sierra EV, GMC continues to write the next chapter in its future as a premium truck and SUV brand.”

Because the Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 isn’t constrained by a conventional engine, the design team at GMC had an opportunity to reimagine the layout of the truck to offer more versatility. A GMC-first MultiPro Midgate expandable bed offers room for hauling longer items, while still enabling room for a rear-seat passenger.

The instrument panel is clad in open-pore wood, aluminum accents, and stainless steel speaker grilles. The Sierra EV Denali is a luxury truck, after all.
