    The 2026 GMC Sierra EV aims to be the pinnacle of luxury in the electric pickup truck segment. With impressive performance and a host of standard features, it offers a premium experience for those desiring an EV pickup. The Sierra EV shares its mechanical underpinnings with the Chevrolet Silverado EV but distinguishes itself with unique styling and a more upscale interior.

    GMC Sierra EV Rating: 8.5/10

    Highlights:

    • Impressively quick acceleration
    • Quiet and refined cabin
    • Significant price cut for certain configurations

    Lowlights:

    • Heavy curb weight
    • Infotainment and display screens could be improved
    • AT4 off-road trim lacks a smaller-battery Standard Range option

    Verdict: The GMC Sierra EV is a fast and capable size-XXL electric pickup. It matches the functionality of its Chevy Silverado EV counterpart while offering more standard features and a more luxurious experience.

    Overview

    For those who find the Chevrolet Silverado EV a bit too mainstream, the GMC Sierra EV presents a more refined alternative. While both trucks share many of the same components, the Sierra EV boasts more sophisticated exterior styling, additional standard features, and a quieter, more luxurious cabin. A new, smaller battery option also lowers the starting price by nearly $30,000. Despite its focus on luxury, the Sierra EV retains its workhorse capabilities.

    What’s New for 2026?

    The Sierra EV lineup welcomes two new trims for the 2026 model year. The AT4 model caters to off-road enthusiasts with its rugged 35-inch all-terrain tires and a lifted suspension providing two extra inches of ground clearance compared to other trims. The AT4 also includes the Hummer EV’s four-wheel steering “CrabWalk” feature, which allows for diagonal maneuvering in tight spaces. The Elevation trim joins the lineup as the most affordable model. Furthermore, a new Standard Range battery configuration is now available for the Elevation and Denali trims, and four new exterior paint colors add some flair to the Sierra EV’s aesthetic.

    Pricing and Which One to Buy

    The 2026 GMC Sierra EV starts at $64,495 and goes up to $100,695 depending on the chosen trim and options.

    • Elevation Standard Range: $64,495
    • Denali Standard Range: $71,795
    • Elevation Extended Range: $72,695
    • Denali Extended Range: $79,995
    • AT4 Extended Range: $81,395
    • AT4 Max Range: $91,695
    • Denali Max Range: $100,695

    For buyers prioritizing value and practicality, particularly those not focused on off-road adventures, the new Elevation Extended Range trim is a strong contender. Despite its lower price point, it’s generously equipped, including a 16.8-inch center touchscreen and the highest maximum towing capacity in the lineup at 12,500 pounds.

    EV Motor, Power, and Performance

    All Sierra EV variants come standard with all-wheel drive, powered by two electric motors – one at the front and one at the rear. Power output varies by trim:

    • Elevation and Denali Standard Range: 645 horsepower
    • AT4 Extended Range: 625 horsepower
    • AT4 Max Range: 725 horsepower
    • Denali Max Range: 760 horsepower

    Multiple drive modes tailor the Sierra’s performance characteristics. The regenerative braking system features a one-pedal driving option, allowing drivers to significantly slow the truck by lifting off the accelerator. Road tests have shown that the Sierra EV drives similarly to the Silverado EV. It offers impressive acceleration and handles well for its size, although aggressive throttle inputs can make the truck feel a bit unstable.

    0–60 MPH Times

    When the Sierra EV Denali was tested previously, it accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.1 seconds. While the larger Hummer EV managed a quicker 3.3-second sprint, achieving 60 mph in just over four seconds is still very quick for a large pickup. This section will be updated with new figures once performance data for the new 2026 trims and battery configurations is available.

    GMC Towing and Payload Capacity

    The Sierra EV provides a maximum towing capacity of 12,500 pounds in either the Elevation Extended Range or Denali Max Range trim.

    Range, Charging, and Battery Life

    The Sierra EV now offers three battery configurations. The new Standard Range option is available on Elevation and Denali trims, alongside the Extended Range and Max Range battery configurations previously available on the Denali. The new battery configuration will offer less driving range and lower power output, but at a lower price. While specific range estimates for the 2026 Sierra EV lineup are not yet available, the Extended Range offered a range of 390 miles, while the Max Range pack could deliver an estimated 440 miles. All battery configurations support DC fast charging. GM estimates that the Max Range battery pack can gain up to 100 miles of range in about 10 minutes at a 350kW charge rate.

    Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

    The Sierra EV is only offered as a crew-cab pickup with a bed length close to six feet. The interior offers generous space and a comfortable rear seat. The use of acoustic glass and additional sound deadening contributes to a quieter cabin compared to the Silverado EV. A midgate function, which expands the bed into the cabin, allows for the carrying of longer items. A front trunk (“frunk”) is also present, offering 11 cubic feet of cargo space. The Denali version features premium materials such as open-pore wood and leather.

    Infotainment and Connectivity

    The standard infotainment system features a 16.8-inch portrait-style touchscreen with many connectivity features and built-in apps. However, the system does not support Apple CarPlay or Android Auto smartphone mirroring. The user interface could be improved in how it displays important vehicle information, such as the selected drive mode. An 11.0-inch digital gauge cluster and a wireless smartphone charging pad are also standard.

    Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

    The Denali and AT4 models include the advanced Super Cruise hands-free driving system. This system handles acceleration, braking, and allows drivers to take their hands off the steering wheel for extended periods on mapped highways, provided the driver remains attentive to the road. The Sierra EV includes standard automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control with hands-free driving mode.

    Warranty and Maintenance Coverage

    The Sierra EV is covered by a warranty similar to other General Motors products:

    • Limited warranty covers 3 years or 36,000 miles
    • Powertrain warranty covers 5 years or 60,000 miles
    • Battery and electric components are covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles
    • Complimentary maintenance for the first visit
