While the Elevation and AT4 trims remain on the horizon, the Denali models are already available, boasting luxury and cutting-edge technology. The Elevation and AT4 trims are expected to provide more affordable alternatives for those seeking a capable and stylish electric truck without opting for the full Denali experience.
Power and Performance
Under the hood, the Sierra EV Denali is powered by dual electric motors that drive all four wheels, delivering a staggering 754 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque. This powerhouse configuration ensures rapid acceleration and remarkable towing capacity. Notably, the Sierra EV features air suspension that can adjust the truck’s height and the innovative “crab walk” mode, borrowed from the Hummer EV, allowing the truck to move diagonally by turning the rear wheels.
The Sierra EV also offers various drive modes that adapt the truck’s performance to different terrains and conditions. Regenerative braking with a one-pedal driving option enhances efficiency and provides a smoother driving experience. In initial test drives, the Sierra EV demonstrated impressive acceleration and handling, though it exhibited a slight tendency to become unwieldy under aggressive acceleration.
Performance Metrics
In our tests, the Sierra Denali Edition 1 accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.1 seconds, an exceptional feat for a vehicle of this size and weight. While this lags slightly behind the GMC Hummer EV Pickup’s blistering 3.3-second sprint, it remains one of the fastest trucks in its class.
Final Thoughts
The 2025 GMC Sierra Denali EV stands out as a premier electric truck, combining cutting-edge technology, luxury, and performance. With the introduction of more affordable models like the Elevation and AT4, GMC’s electric truck lineup is poised to attract a wider audience. Whether for off-road adventures, daily commutes, or luxury travel, the Sierra Denali EV promises to deliver an unmatched driving experience.
