Electric trucks have a bit of a pricing problem, but it looks like truck manufacturers are aware of the issue. In fact, one of the newest electric truck options out there is getting a price cut. The 2025 GMC Sierra EV Denali is an impressive $10,000 cheaper than the 2024 model before it. Thats without cutting features in fact, the 2025 model has a higher range than the 2024 model did.
To be clear, the price cut certainly doesnt make the Sierra EV cheap. Even with the price cut factored in, the truck still starts at an ultra-high $91,995. Thats far more expensive than the Rivian R1T and on par with the likes of the Tesla Cybertruck. Heres a look at whats on offer with the new truck.

The GMC Sierra EV Denali is built for those who like a slightly more traditional look to their electric trucks, at least compared to the likes of the Tesla Cybertruck and the Rivian R1S. The electric version of the truck offers a very similar design to the non-electric version, with headlights that follow the corners of the front and a large GMC logo in the middle. The big wheels and hood sculpting help give the truck a sporty look. While its not quite as unique as the Cybertruck, it still looks modern and stylish.

The interior of the truck looks great too and its a major differentiating factor. Its built for luxury, and has premium stitched leather upholstery and a large display in the middle for infotainment. That display follows Fords lead with its physical volume knob interrupting the screen. Its all coupled with modern-looking wood panels and premium leather throughout.
The Sierra EV comes with GMCs infotainment system, which is based on Android Automotive. Unfortunately, you cant use it with CarPlay or Android Auto, so youll have to stick with the built-in infotainment for navigation and audio. Along with that large 16.8-inch infotainment display, the vehicle also has an 11-inch digital gauge cluster.
The Sierra EV Denali, which is the base model of the Sierra EV for 2025, comes standard with a dual-motor electric powertrain that offers all-wheel drive and delivers 754 horsepower and 785 pound-feet of torque. It also has air suspension, along with the Crab Walk feature made famous by the Hummer EV, which can turn all four wheels in the same direction to allow the truck to drive diagonally for more precise parking.
Itll be able to tow heavy loads as well, supporting up to 10,500 pounds. Keep in mind that towing heavy loads in an electric truck will dramatically reduce the range offered by the vehicle, though.
The Sierra EV Denali is no slouch, though. The base model of the vehicle offers an impressive 390 miles of range, which is higher than the vast majority of electric vehicles out there. You can also pay for a max range version that raises the price to $100,495 and gives the truck a huge 460 miles of range.
It very quick too. It supports a charging rate of up to 350 kilowatts, which means itll work with the fastest charging stations available right now. According to GMC, charging at that speed will give the truck an impressive 100 miles of range in around 10 minutes.
To be clear, the GMC Sierra EV isnt cheap by any means, but GMC does plan on introducing two new trims in early 2025 that will be cheaper, which should help. We dont yet know exactly how much these Sierra EV Elevation and Sierra EV AT4 models will cost or exactly when theyll be released.
In the meantime, if youre willing to pay the money required for the current versions of the GMC Sierra EV, youll be able to do so soon, as the Sierra EV Denali is currently being shipped to dealers.
