The 2026 GMC Sierra EV lineup just leveled up. With new trims, more powertrain options, and some smart tech and design updates, this all-electric full-size truck is still all about capability—just with a quieter cabin and a lot more range. Let's dig into its offerings so you know just what to expect from 2026 GMC Sierra EV trims and features.
Key Takeaways
- Two new trims join the party for 2026—the rugged AT4 and value-packed Elevation.
- A smaller, more affordable Standard Range battery is now available.
- Towing maxes out at 12,500 pounds.
New Trims, New Tricks: What You Should Expect for the Sierra EV in 2026
The Sierra EV expands its trim family for 2026 with the arrival of two fresh faces.
- The off-road-focused AT4, which rides on 35-inch all-terrain tires and boasts a lifted suspension for two extra inches of ground clearance.
- The Elevation, a new entry-level trim that brings Sierra EV pricing down to Earth without feeling like a stripped-down work truck.
You also get four new paint colors this year and a new Standard Range battery option for Elevation and Denali trims.
Here’s the full 2026 Sierra EV lineup and pricing as of June 19, 2025:
- 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
Horsepower, Hauling, and Range for the Sierra EV
All Sierra EVs come with dual electric motors and standard all-wheel drive, but trim power varies depending on trim and battery size. Here's the rundown:
- Elevation and Denali Standard Range: 645 horsepower
- AT4 Extended Range: 625 horsepower
- AT4 Max Range: 725 horsepower
- Denali Max Range: 760 horsepower
While GM hasn’t released 2026-specific EPA range numbers yet, the 2025 Extended Range pack offered around 390 miles, and the Max Range setup was good for 440 miles, according to estimates. All battery versions support DC fast charging, and GM says you can add about 100 miles of range with a 350kW charger in just ten minutes.
And if you need to tow, the Sierra EV doesn’t hold back. The Elevation Extended Range and Denali Max Range can tow up to 12,500 pounds, while the AT4 tows 12,300 pounds, which is still plenty to haul your toys.
Inside the Sierra EV: Quiet Comfort, Big Screens, and Frunk Space
The Sierra EV only comes in a crew cab body style with a bed just under six feet long. A standard midgate lets you open up the cab for hauling longer items, and a big front trunk (“frunk”) adds 11 cubic feet of bonus storage.
Inside, it’s all about comfort and quiet, especially in the Denali, which comes with open-pore wood and real leather. Extra sound insulation and acoustic glass help keep road noise out, making the Sierra EV more peaceful than its Silverado sibling.
Tech-wise, you get a huge 16.8-inch portrait-style touchscreen, plus a crisp 11.0-inch digital gauge cluster and wireless phone charging. That said, there’s no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. (A rarity!)
