GMC is known for building trucks that blend luxury with versatility and capability. The Sierra series has an outstanding reputation for such, earning its place as the automaker's best-selling workhorse. So, how can the full-size Sierra 1500 get any better? This American automaker proves it's possible with the 2025 GMC Sierra EV.
The push to build a greener future with zero emissions is substantial as automakers introduce new electric vehicles that promise more excitement in the driver's seat. GMC's goal with the Sierra EV's debut in 2024 was to defy our expectations of electric performance and, believe it or not, the luxury that defines the GMC brand. The 2024 Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 certainly accomplished as much, but its high price tag left many unable to experience it firsthand.
GMC delivers more value and affordability with the 2025 Sierra EV, starting with the debut of the Denali and upcoming trims like the Elevation and AT4. The 2025 Sierra EV Denali offers a more affordable price tag with an improved range, advanced technologies, additional features, and next-level capability. Its 760-hp heartbeat and an estimated range of 460 miles guarantee you can go the distance, while the Denali treatment ensures every mile is more opulent and luxurious than ever.
With very few details from GMC about the Sierra EV Elevation and AT4, all eyes are on the 2025 Sierra EV Denali—so how does GMC fulfill its promise to make the 2025 Sierra EV Denali more exciting, luxurious, capable, and affordable? Here's a closer look at the 2025 Sierra EV Denali, from its impressive performance to its premium comforts, functional features, and innovative technologies.
Starting at
The 2025 Sierra EV Denali, priced lower than its 2024 sibling, is exquisitely designed. It's a sophisticated road warrior with an outstanding work ethic that guarantees it lives up to GMC's legacy of building capable trucks that make every job easier, from weekday commutes to towing heavy loads. The 2025 Sierra EV can handle it all in style.
The truck's rugged stance embodies its athleticism without diminishing its refined exterior, which reflects the Denali name. The balance is remarkable and starts with the truck's front fascia, where the automaker's signature headlamps frame the reimagined grille with gloss-black accents. The combination of gloss black and chrome elements perfectly complements the Sierra EV's exterior color palette, which can come in hues like Summit White, Moonlight Matte, Thunderstorm Gray, Dark Ember Tintcoat, Deep Ocean Metallic, and Onyx Black.
The 2025 Sierra EV comes to life when plugged in to recharge, thanks to an animated light sequence that confirms the truck is plugged in and doing what it's supposed to do to replenish the battery. This lighting complements the Sierra EV's illuminated perimeter shield and GMC front badging—all subtle features that enhance its aesthetic. Fortunately, the interior gets the same premium treatment.
Opening the driver's door introduces a wave of luxury, with the cabin expertly draped in premium materials, exquisite details, and an expansive digital landscape. The combination of hand-stitched elements and cutting-edge technologies is perfectly balanced throughout the cabin and showcases GMC's keen attention to detail. This attention is everywhere you look, from the open-pore wood trimming and the perforated accents on the doors to the quilted and embroidered pattern on the seats. The finishing touch is the Sierra EV's panoramic glass roof, which is protected by infrared and UV coatings to keep the cabin comfortable and ensure you can enjoy the view and expansiveness above every mile ahead.
GMC promises exciting performance and the capability expected of a full-size truck with the 2025 Sierra EV. But does the electric truck fulfill that promise and live up to expectations? GMC ensures as much by offering two powertrains that deliver impressive range, performance, and towing capabilities.
The 2025 Sierra EV is built on GM's Ultium Platform and rolls off the production line with all-wheel drive, dual-motor powertrain, and Extended Range or Max Range battery. The Extended Range battery with the dual-motor configuration makes 645 hp and 785 lb-ft of instant torque, making the Sierra EV responsive and engaging at any speed. This output yields a maximum towing capacity of 10,500 lbs and 1,450 lbs of payload. GMC estimates the powertrain has a driving range of approximately 390 miles.
While the Sierra EV's base powerplant is impressive, GMC recognizes drivers' insatiable need for more power. The Sierra EV's Max Range option delivers and sets new performance benchmarks, producing 760 hp and 786 lb-ft of torque. With a higher horsepower output, the Max Range provides more on-demand power, but that doesn't hinder its range. Instead, the Sierra EV with the Max Range battery offers an estimated range of 460 miles and the same towing and payload capacities.
GMC encourages drivers to push the 2025 Sierra EV's limits with features like Max Power mode, which launches the truck from zero to sixty in less than four and a half seconds. The addition of the Air Ride Adaptive Suspension heightens the Sierra EV's handling, allowing you to raise or lower the truck by approximately two inches as the situation necessitates. Moreover, even recharging the Sierra EV powerhouse is straightforward, with DC Fast Charging adding 100 miles to the battery in ten minutes and Level 2 charging capable of replenishing the battery overnight from the convenience of your garage.
Ingenuity permeates the 2025 Sierra EV, from its expansive digital landscape to its active and passive driver assistance technologies. GMC puts everything you need within reach or in immediate view, keeping you connected, engaged, and aware to make every moment in the driver's seat more enjoyable. The combination is exceptional, especially when you realize that the 2025 Sierra EV's technologies extend beyond standard features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
While smartphone integration is seamless and very much a part of the 2025 Sierra EV's digital landscape, there's far more to the truck's tech-savvy design. The driver's seat is framed by a digital dashboard and an expansive, portrait-oriented 16.8-inch center touchscreen. These displays complement a 14-inch head-up display that puts vital performance insights—like speed, range, and navigational cues—on the windshield.
The Sierra EV's premium seven-speaker Bose sound system and Richbass woofer provide an extraordinary listening experience, whether you're streaming your favorite playlist, listening to the latest headlines, or talking on the phone. The truck's enhanced voice recognition software is also noteworthy, making it easy to navigate your route, respond to messages, and more with simple voice commands. But what else comprises the Sierra EV's tech suite?
The 2025 Sierra EV's technologies extend to performance features, like Super Cruise, 4-Wheel Steer, and Crab Walk. Super Cruise is the industry's first true hands-free driving tool, and it transforms your experience behind the wheel by managing the truck's steering, acceleration, and braking as long as you keep your eyes on the road. Apart from cruising, the Sierra EV also excels at slow speeds, thanks to 4-Wheel Steer and Crab Walk: the former tightens the truck's turning radius to make it easier to maneuver, while the latter moves the truck diagonally by turning the front and rear wheels in the same direction at low speeds.
At first glance, the 2025 Sierra EV is luxurious and sophisticated, as you'd expect from the GMC brand. Yet, it also showcases how GMC incorporates opulence with functionality to create a well-rounded and versatile truck. This balance is apparent in the Sierra EV's functional design features that guarantee the truck works with you and for you to make every job or situation easier.
These functional features start with the more obvious, like the MultiPro midgate, which makes the Sierra EV's nearly six-foot bed more versatile. The unique design extends the Sierra EV's bed to nearly eleven feet long when the rear seats are folded, the load stop positioned, and the rear glass window removed. This makes it easier to haul longer items and capitalizes on the bed's 57.5 cu.ft. of cargo space.
For smaller items, the Sierra EV's power-opened eTrunk is ideal. Located under the hood in place of a traditional gas engine, the eTrunk offers 11 cu.ft. of storage. It's also lockable and weatherproof, making it an excellent place to store small tools, equipment, and other valuable items.
The Sierra EV's versatility extends beyond its storage areas to innovative features like GMC's Power Station Pro. This unique charging system is bidirectional, meaning it can receive and transmit electric power. Why is this significant? Well, you can use the 2025 Sierra EV as a mobile power source; it provides up to 10.2 kW of off-board power via up to ten outlets, making it possible to power small tools, camping equipment, and other electronics. You can also configure the system as a mobile generator that can power your home for up to three weeks.
