New 2025 GMC Sierra EV Max Range Denali

Delivering a substantial 460-mile range thanks to its large battery packs, the 2025 GMC Sierra EV offers electric performance that outshines gas and diesel trucks, all within a comfortably familiar package

The GMC Sierra EV is an all-electric, full-size pickup truck, positioned as the electric version of the gasoline and diesel GMC Sierra 1500 models. Utilizing GM’s advanced battery and propulsion systems, previously known as Ultium, the 2025 Sierra EV brings electric power to the traditional full-size truck market.

While it shares some technology with the GMC Hummer EV pickup, it’s designed to compete directly with conventional full-size trucks in terms of size and functionality. Essentially, it’s the GMC version of the closely related Chevrolet Silverado EV, and it competes with vehicles like the Ford F-150 Lightning and the Rivian R1T.

The GMC Sierra EV stands out as a powerful and technologically advanced electric truck, offering impressive performance and innovative features that boost flexibility and handling. However, its premium pricing necessitates careful consideration. To experience these features firsthand, a visit to your local GMC dealership is recommended. 

This GMC truck excels in robust power, exceptional range, agile maneuverability, a versatile design, and a comprehensive feature set. If you’re comfortable with its traditional truck aesthetics and the six-figure investment, as confirmed through a test drive at a GMC dealership, the Sierra EV is an excellent choice

What’s new for the 2025 GMC Sierra EV?

In 2024, the Sierra EV launched in limited quantities, exclusively in its high-end Denali Edition 1 trim. For 2025, GMC has introduced incremental efficiency improvements and adjusted pricing. Additionally, they’ve announced plans to expand the lineup with more accessible Elevation and AT4 models, expected to arrive sometime in 2025. 

Although it looks much like a traditional Sierra pickup, the design stands out beside one of those fossil-fuel swillers. There’s no gap between the cargo box and cab. Unlike the Ford F-150 Lightning, the 2025 GMC Sierra was designed as a dedicated EV with no allowance for a combustion engine. That means it’s exceptionally roomy inside and out, and its combination of plush leather upholstery plus the amazing versatility of GM’s Midgate arrangement here makes it a pickup cabin like no other.

Flip up the rear seats of the 2025 Sierra EV EV Max Range Denali, and you have additional storage space; lower the Midgate and you can use that space as an expansion of the bed space—for items nearly 11 feet long with a load step that flips around as a bed extender, and the eTrunk front storage adds further versatility.

760 Horsepower from Two Electric Motors

The 2025 GMC Sierra EV delivers up to 760 hp and 785 lb-ft of torque via two permanent-magnet electric motors. Drive systems draw energy from massive battery packs, feeding energy back upon deceleration, through a choice of two one-pedal driving modes, to improve the efficiency of these stout electric trucks. 

The GMC Sierra EV delivers impressive acceleration, surging from 0-60 mph in a mere 4.5 seconds. Among GMC trucks, it offers a refined and sophisticated driving experience, distinguishing itself from the more boisterous GM electric truck lineup. Equipped with an air suspension and rear-wheel steering, this lengthy 233-inch model achieves remarkable maneuverability, including the entertaining CrabWalk feature. For those searching for trucks for sale, particularly a GMC Sierra for sale, this EV model, available at dealerships like those on GMC Cape Cod, presents a compelling blend of performance and technology

When considering the Sierra EV, the primary distinction lies in the battery packs: the Extended Range (170-kWh, 390-mile) and the Max Range (205-kWh, 460-mile) options. While the Max Range provides greater distance, the Extended Range variant also features a slightly reduced horsepower rating. Both configurations utilize double-layered lithium-ion pouch cells, organized into modules, with a unique feature that allows switching between parallel and series arrangements during 800-volt DC fast-charging. This enables a rapid 100-mile range replenishment in just 10 minutes, a significant advantage for long journeys. If you’re looking for GMC trucks and want to explore these battery options firsthand, searching for “GMC dealers near me,” or visiting a reputable dealership like Robertsons GMC truck, is a great way to learn more. 

Due to its unique electric platform, the Sierra EV has distinct safety features compared to its gasoline and diesel counterparts. Standard safety equipment includes automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, automatic headlights, and lane-keeping assist. To address the challenges of visibility in a large vehicle, the Sierra EV also provides enhanced camera views and additional driver assistance technologies. For highway driving, GM’s Super Cruise offers hands-free assistance, requiring driver attention, and it even functions while towing.

What is the 2025 GMC Sierra EV Cost?

The 2025 GMC Sierra EV costs $91,995, including the $2,095 destination fee, in its most affordable Sierra EV Denali form with the Extended Range battery pack. That includes adaptive dampers, air suspension, rear-wheel steering, a 16.8-inch infotainment system, a head-up display, a panoramic sunroof, open-pore wood trim, quilted leather front seats, a Bose sound system, and much more. The starting price for the Max Range version and its 460-mile GM estimate is $100,495. 

Where is the 2025 GMC Sierra EV made?

The GMC Sierra EV is Made in the USA,  in Hamtramck, Michigan, alongside the GMC Hummer EV. This emphasizes GM’s commitment to domestic electric vehicle production. This production site, Factory ZERO, represents a significant investment in the future of American automotive manufacturing and electric vehicle technology.

The GMC Sierra EV looks similar to the gas version but sleeker

The GMC Sierra EV prioritizes the familiar design and functionality of its gasoline and diesel Sierra siblings, avoiding radical changes to the classic full-size pickup. Despite being built on a new electric platform, it retains the crew cab style. While the overall shape is clearly a GMC Sierra, the details are more modern. The lack of a conventional grille, replaced by a front trunk (frunk), is balanced by dynamic daytime running lights that activate when approaching or leaving the vehicle, and front indicators that show charging progress.

The side profile subtly differs from traditional models, featuring a slight taper noticeable upon closer inspection. The cab and cargo box flow seamlessly together, and the 24-inch wheels are positioned further towards the corners than in typical trucks. GMC’s use of black lower-body trim, wheel-well accents, and camera/sensor surrounds helps prevent the design from appearing overly complex.

One of the first impressions upon getting into the Sierra EV’s interior is that it’s very wide. A subdued but upscale look to the trims, including laser-cut wood, complements a tight fit and finish around the dash especially and its vertically oriented 16.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The longer you look, the more fine details there are, from the stitching and perforation of the seats to the pattern in the speaker grilles.

How fast is the GMC Sierra EV?

With 760 hp and 785 lb-ft of torque available in the Sierra EV’s Max Power mode, GMC says that this is the most powerful Sierra ever; it’s also the quickest stock Sierra ever in the 0-60 mph sprint. It can do that dash in just 4.5 seconds, GM says.

All of those numbers are with the biggest Max Range pack. Stick with the Extended Range pack and the Sierra EV makes 645 hp but the same 785 lb-ft. GMC hasn’t released acceleration times yet for this version, or what any of the versions make outside of Max Power mode.

The Sierra EV is built on an independent suspension and rolls on huge 24-inch wheels, with a quick-reacting air suspension constantly adjusting for body motions, hills, corners, and loading. Thanks to the rear-wheel steering, the overall steering feels especially responsive in low-speed corners, although not even that system masks the tremendous curb weight of nearly 9,000 pounds.

2025 GMC Sierra EV Towing and Payload:

• The GMC Sierra EV Denali can tow up to 10,500 pounds with the Extended Range battery and 10,000 pounds with the Max Range battery.
• Payload capacity is 1,450 pounds, which, while not the highest in the segment, feels exceptionally capable in real-world driving.
• The vehicle’s range estimation intelligently adjusts based on actual energy consumption during towing, accounting for the significant range reduction that can occur.
• A Tow-Haul mode optimizes power distribution and driving dynamics, and even with heavy towing, a 230 mile range is possible.

2025 GMC Sierra EV Interior and Cargo:

• The Sierra EV offers a spacious and comfortable interior with excellent front and rear seating.
• A key feature is the MultiPro Midgate, allowing the rear seats to be folded down, extending the 5-foot-11 cargo bed to 9 feet.
• With the tailgate bed extender, the bed length reaches 10-foot-10, accommodating long items.
• A locking tonneau cover and various cargo accessories are available for added convenience.
  

Dimensions and Storage:

• The Sierra EV is a large vehicle, measuring 233.2 inches in length, 83.8 inches in width (without mirrors), and with a 145.7-inch wheelbase.
• Its design, as a purpose-built EV, maximizes interior and cargo space compared to EV conversions.
• The cargo bed provides 57.5 cubic feet of volume.
• A power hood reveals an 11.0-cubic-foot eTrunk (frunk), capable of holding 400 pounds, and is weatherproof with a drain

The GMC Sierra EV Pickup Truck is roomy, comfortable, and exceptionally versatile.

The 2025 GMC Sierra EV delivers exceptional comfort for both front and rear passengers, alongside a deep, practical cargo bed and a unique, versatile cargo feature not found in other pickup trucks. 

The Sierra EV Denali, a premium GMC Denali model, comes standard with an air suspension providing 8.95 inches of ground clearance. This adjustable suspension can raise or lower the ride height by approximately two inches, facilitating easier entry, though the provided step is still recommended. The comfortable leather seats offer excellent support. The interior boasts ample storage, including a large, multi-level center console, a convenient sliding wireless charging tray, and numerous USB-C ports.

GMC has implemented comprehensive noise reduction measures to minimize road and wind noise. These include active noise cancellation through the Bose sound system, additional underbody insulation, and acoustic side glass, contributing to the truck’s luxurious, quiet ride during highway driving.  

A standout feature of the Sierra EV cabin is its impressive rear passenger space. It comfortably accommodates three adults, offering generous headroom and an elevated seating position that provides excellent outward visibility.

How safe is the EV Max Range Denali?

The 2025 GMC Sierra EV includes a full suite of active safety items and leaves nothing to the options list in this area, making it a standout among 2025 GMC offerings. Automatic emergency braking, active lane control, and automatic high-beam headlights are all standard. Adaptive cruise control is also on the list, as is GM’s Super Cruise, which provides hands-off driving, including semi-automated lane changes on more than 750,000 miles of compatible mapped roads and highways.

Such a large, heavy truck with a tall hoodline makes it hard to see around the truck in close urban situations. GM includes a long list of items that will help keep Sierra EVs from hitting those things that might be out of view. Reverse automatic emergency braking, rear cross-traffic braking, side bicyclist alerts, front pedestrian and bicyclist emergency braking, a rear camera mirror, and a bed view camera are all included. The Sierra EV also includes a trailer hitch aid, up-close hitch views, and additional rear trailer views.

Considering all of the Sierra EV’s cameras and potential alerts, it’s not overwhelming; the Sierra leaves some of its alerts to minor seat buzzes while prioritizing others to visual alerts and chimes. For those in the Kingston area looking for new vehicles, especially the 2025 GMC Sierra EV, consider exploring your options at locations that serve the region, even if direct searches for GMC Kingston MA do not produce local results.

The 2025 GMC Sierra EV outdoes Cybertruck, Lightning, and R1T in range thanks to a very big battery.

The 2025 GMC Sierra EV Denali comes with an official EPA rating of 390 miles with the Extended Range battery pack and a GM-estimated range of 460 miles with the Max Range battery pack. While the former’s 390-mile rating is EPA-official, the latter’s super-size battery pack throws the Sierra EV into the medium-duty weight category that doesn’t require efficiency ratings.
