Edmunds spotlight: Two new trims and an entry-level battery

Last year, GMC offered the Sierra EV only in the range-topping Denali trim, a common strategy to get early adopters in at the highest profit margin. But 2026 brings buyers two new trim options; the base Elevation and the midlevel off-road-oriented AT4. There's also a new 120-kWh standard-range battery available in the Elevation and Denali trims. Output ranges from the 605 horsepower available in the Elevation trim with the standard-range battery to 760 horsepower in the Denali Max Range. The real news here is that the Elevation trim starts at $64,990, lower than the Ford F-150 Lightning's current base price. What's more, the Elevation comes absolutely packed with practical standard features, including many driver aids, a heated steering wheel and a built-in trailer brake controller.

Competitors to consider

The Sierra EV has plenty of competitors, from the smaller and higher-end Rivian R1T to the angular Tesla Cybertruck. The Sierra EV's more direct competitors include the Ford F-150 Lightning and the Sierra's near mechanical twin, Chevy's Silverado EV.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Reese Counts

Very Good

7.2

out of 10

We drove the 2026 GMC Sierra EV on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Driving experience

6.8/10

How does the GMC Sierra EV drive? At the Edmunds test track, the Sierra EV Denali Max Range and Elevation Extended Range trucks covered 0-60 mph in just 4.3 seconds and 4.4 seconds, respectively. While it's not as quick as the max-power versions of the Rivian R1T, Ford F-150 Lightning or Tesla Cybertruck, you won't ever want for power. Emergency braking power is adequate for such a heavy truck, and the Sierra EV does offer one-pedal driving, so you can just lift off the accelerator pedal to slow down in everyday driving rather than using the brake pedal. Handling is ponderous, but the available rear-axle steering system makes parking easier.

We've driven the Sierra EV on both 22-inch and 24-inch wheels. Those wheels use tires with skinny sidewalls, making the ride somewhat stiff and busy. The Denali's active dampers can smooth out large bumps fairly well, but you'll feel a lot of small road imperfections in the cabin.

The Sierra EV's tech shines is in terms of driver aids. The Sierra EV is available with GM's excellent Super Cruise advanced driver aid system. It allows for hands-free highway driving, and it works fairly well in practice. As far as hands-free systems go, Super Cruise is one of the best.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the GMC Sierra EV? The Sierra EV's seats are relatively comfortable. The front seats offer quite a bit of adjustment, and the heating and ventilation settings work very well to keep your back and bottom comfortable. The back seat offers plenty of room for adults and can hold large car seats with ease.

The climate control system as a whole works quite well, with warm heat and cold air conditioning. We like that GMC uses physical controls for the climate system rather than the touchscreens you'll find in rivals. The Sierra EV is relatively quiet, though we noticed more road noise on the highway than we'd prefer in a vehicle this costly.

Some of the Sierra EV controls are physical buttons, but many of its systems require using the touchscreen to operate them. Most of the interior is laid out well enough, but our editors found that the steering wheel blocks the top of the instrument panel and a section of the touchscreen.

In-cabin tech

7.6/10

How’s the tech? While the regular GMC Sierra offers both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the Sierra EV follows the trend of other electric GM products and ditches both in favor of a Google-based infotainment system. You can log in with various apps through the screen rather than through your phone. The maps for the navigation system all come from Google Maps, too, which is actually an improvement over most in-car navigation systems. Still, we wish GMC would at least offer the option of phone connectivity beyond Bluetooth. A wireless charging pad and numerous USB ports ensure all your devices can be charged.

Build & Price

Buying Tips for the 2026 GMC Sierra EV for December

Shopping for a 2026 GMC Sierra EV can be a rewarding experience with the right information for both new and used vehicles.

New Sierra EV buyers can expect some savings, as the market price is generally about 4% to 6% below the MSRP across most trims. For instance, the AT4 Max Range offers notable savings with a 6.39% discount, representing approximately $5,725 off the MSRP.
If you're eligible, military members and first responders can receive a $500 discount across all trims. No general customer cash rebates are available.
New inventory is abundant, particularly for the Elevation trims, offering more leverage in negotiations. However, the Denali and AT4 trims are selling quickly, often spending less days on the lot than average new cars, so be prepared to act fast.
Leasing is available, with payments for the Denali Extended Range trim starting around $1,090 per month with $6,090 due at signing. This provides an option for those seeking lower initial costs.
For used Sierra EV models, prices can be competitive, with the lowest dealer display price around $57,490.
Used inventory varies by trim, with many having slim availability. Contact local dealers for specific trim interests to ensure you can secure the vehicle you want.

Storage & cargo

7/10

How’s storage and cargo? The Sierra EV offers a decent amount of storage inside the cabin. There are sizable door pockets, a massive center console with several bins, and plenty of cupholders in both rows of seats. Like other electric trucks, the Sierra EV offers a front trunk. It's not massive, but it's large enough for a quick grocery run or for some small luggage.

The rear seatbacks fold down for additional interior storage if you want it, which is handy. You can also fit a few small items under the rear seat bottoms, but they have to be flat since there are tools and other items there. On the flip side, you can throw that stuff in the frunk if you want.

Value

6.3/10

Is the GMC Sierra EV a good value? For 2026, GMC is offering the Sierra EV in three trims, which makes the truck's pricing more competitive than last year when it only came in the top Denali trim. The base Elevation trim actually undercuts the base Ford F-150 Lightning in price, and the Sierra EV comes with ample standard features. Its interior is more upscale than the Ford's or the Tesla Cybertruck's (though still not quite as nice as the Rivian R1T's). GM's excellent Super Cruise system is available, and numerous driver aids are standard. The Sierra EV offers more range than any of its rivals, too, though the poor efficiency means it will cost more to recharge the Sierra than other electric trucks.

Towing & hauling

9.5/10

How is the towing and hauling? The 1,500-pound payload rating isn't impressive on its own, but the Sierra EV offers more bed space than any other electric pickup. The folding midgate lowers the rear seats, allowing you to extend the bed to inside the cabin. It's legitimately useful. Also impressive is the Sierra EV's 10,000-pound towing capacity. While range will fall significantly when towing a trailer, the Sierra EV still offers more range than any of its rivals.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Range/Efficiency/Charging

5.8/10

How are the range and efficiency? The Sierra EV now offers a choice of three battery packs. The standard-range battery offers an EPA-estimated 283 miles of range in the Elevation and Denali trims. The extended-range battery offers 410 miles of EPA-estimated range in the Elevation and Denali trims and 390 miles of range in the AT4. The Max Range battery provides 478 miles of EPA-estimated range in the AT4 and Denali. We ran both the extended-range Elevation and the Denali Max Range models through the Edmunds EV Range Test, and each blew past its EPA estimate, traveling 429 miles and 507 miles on a single charge, respectively. But the Sierra isn't as efficient as most EV pickups. We measured consumption at 47 kWh and 48.1 kWh of electricity used for every 100 miles of driving. That's higher than what we measured from the Rivian R1T, Tesla Cybertruck and Ford F-150 Lightning. The Sierra EV needs a very large battery to go that distance, meaning charging times can be long, even at powerful fast-charging stations.

X factor

7/10

The Sierra EV looks like any other GMC Sierra at first blush, but the smooth and aero-efficient bodywork, copious LED lighting, and 24-inch wheels on the Denali help the Sierra EV stand apart. It's not as striking as a Rivian R1T or as divisive as the Tesla Cybertruck or GMC's own Hummer EV, but that can work in the Sierra EV's favor. The interior is better than that of most electric trucks, but it's not what we'd consider luxurious. The Sierra EV is fairly quick for a pickup, but this truck won't entertain in the same way as an R1T or Hummer EV on the street.

2026 GMC Sierra EV trim level differences

The 2026 GMC Sierra EV comes in three trims: the entry-level Elevation, midlevel AT4 and the range-topping Denali. Three battery capacities are available: The 120-kWh standard-range battery is available in the Elevation and Denali trims. The 170-kWh extended-range battery comes in all three trims. And the 205-kWh Max Range battery is offered in the upper AT4 and Denali trims. See our Expert Rating for EPA-estimated ranges for every trim.

Which Sierra EV trim does Edmunds recommend?

If you're not in the EV truck market for an off-roader or a near luxury truck, the base-level Elevation trim comes with most everything an electric truck owner could want, including some unexpected luxury and driver assist features like a heated steering wheel and a 360-degree camera system.

Easily the best vehicle I've owned

The Ferret, 01/25/2025

2024 GMC Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (electric DD)

And I've quite literally had them all. Every EV from Hyundai, Ford, Tesla, Rivian, Audi, etc. With plenty of gas/diesel powered vehicles in there. And lots of trucks. I've got a good amount of experience with vehicles and I have to say, this Sierra EV Denali is easily the best combination of full-size truck practicality, comfort, technology, range, and charging speed. The air … suspension does a great job of managing rough roads, despite these massive 24" wheels on 35" tall tires. The interior is relatively quiet, road and wind noise are well suppressed. The seats have real leather, which feel and smell great. They are better than current gas trucks, but could have more padding, and massage would be nice at this price point. I also can't stress the usefulness of rear-wheel steering. While it may sound like a gimmick, it makes parking and maneuvering in tight space a non-issue. It even helps on curvy roads or even slicing through traffic. Basically, it feels like a mid-size truck. Or smaller. It has a tighter turning radius than my R1T. Real-world range is around 380 miles on a full charge (EPA est 440). And that's driving at TX highway speeds around 80mph. When you do need to charge, lots of EA and EVgo stations around here have no problem holding around 350kW until you get closer to 80%. Basically, I can treat this as I do my ICE trucks. Even in colder weather, which only has a minor impact to range. The heat pump and overall EV engineering are solid. Just decide where I want to stop for restroom and food breaks that happen to have EV charging. You can even use most Tesla stations if you don't mind a bit longer wait to charge. The infotainment system is pretty good. It's all Google-based, Google maps, much like using an Android phone. I'd still like to see more features added for EV navigation and home screen customization, but it's been super accurate on road trips with calculating range and EV stops. However, no vehicle is perfect. There are still the usual signs of GM build quality, such as rattles here and there. Which the GMC dealer has been addressing. On the plus side, material quality is much improved as evidence with no creaking. There is no spare tire, just a fix-a-flat kit. And they absolutely need to include a shade for the huge pano roof. While it does a surprisingly good job of blocking heat, sometimes I just don't want the sun in my face. And torque steer at WOT needs to be addressed. Fortunately, I rarely need to do that. It has ample power for passing and merging without even pushing it past 50%. Overall, I've been extremely please with the Sierra EV Denali Edition 1. It looks fantastic, it's way easier to park than any other full-size vehicle, Google tech good enough that I don't miss Android Auto or Carplay, and I can forget about range anxiety. They aren't cheap, but there are some good deals if you shop around. It might be more affordable than you think. Especially when you consider the 205kW battery pack alone would be more than double the cost of the vehicle.
